Only one thing to do, get out on the bike and ride. It ended up as a group of 5 and we rode a tough route with some good hills and I was able to test my position again with some sustained uphill efforts. I'm pleased to report that after 2 good rides in 2 days it still feels comfortable and, more importantly, powerful. I am definitely faster up the hills. We also had a mad 30+mph sprint towards the end of the ride. I jumped off the front too early and was caught 100m or so from the finish line - I just couldn't sustain the pace all the way to the finish and the scallywags jumped out of my slipstream right at the end. A very enjoyable ride in the sun, though - 2 hrs 50 minutes and 80km. The next 4 days will be spent clocking up the miles at sub 140bpm pace to allow my body to absorb the tough miles of the last couple of days.
Train smart folks.

ooo! Sounds fun! Good training bike man. Hey we need to meet up for a ride sometime. I have a Merida Warp 4 with drop bars shimano 105. TT geometry with road set up - lovely! My red white and blue Caygill sort of disintergrated!
