I wouldnt worry about 19.4mph or how long it takes you unless your going to start doing time trials.
That hill you do

Next time you do it, Go up it then do it 5 more times but sit in the saddle and spin in say your 39 x 25 gears. Dont stand up, finish the reps and you will have gained much more.
Crack on.
I cant actually ride 'slower' though. I get on my bike and instantly going hell for leather from start to finish.

So you reckon I should stay in my saddle to build leg strength? That was going to be my next question actually....when do you decide its time to get out of the saddle?

My log term aim - To ride a 50 in under 2:45hrs before Im 21. Ive got 3 months exactly as of tomorrow!
