I'll see how I go next time, even start down the back of the group to make sure I can stay with the group the whole 7 laps next time

I find the same. I suspect that by maximising muscle recruitment over the pedal stroke without recruiting too much fast twitch (ie. avoiding lots of pedal force) I can reduce the oxygen requirements and make a bit more power, but it only works for me if I'm right forwards on the saddle in a TT position where I am using my quads a lot. And I'm not saying "turning circles", because I'm not trying to pull up on the pedals or kick forwards, I'm just trying to be smooth. On my TT bike, I can sit on 380/390 watts, but on one on my roadies the same perceived effort is around 360/370 watts.

I run a Elite Mag trainer, you cant set the pressure for the roller its hinged and the rider weight keeps the pressure on...
