Thanks guys
Eb - ""My TT position has pretty low drag (CdA .21-.22), but my road bike position is fairly upright""
That's me as well (not saying anywhere near your CdA, just in comparison to road bike posistion) , I have a pretty good TT posisition I can hold, but roadbike is fairly upright, that's why I mentioned in orginal post that there is, more often than not, a decent tail wind.
On my road bike I would benefit more from that tailwind as will be presenting more surface area to get blown up the hill?
Ok - so I know with my weight I'm gonna be well towards the back of the field and much much slower than the top guys but was genuinely interested in getting the best performance for myself so thanks for all the replies.
