I have the same issue, on the flatter portions of my commute, I keep grabbing higher gears on the cassette keeping my legs loaded, I’m not as comfortable at a very high cadence... there’s a portion that’s just ever so slightly downhill (just barely noticeable in the car), that I usually go into the drops for and go at (I’m guessing) 22-25mph...

On the return trip home, I’ve had numerous co-workers pace me at above the speed limit on the last leg... I get a decently steep downgrade down which I wind out 7th gear on my middle chainring and then tuck in as tight as I can for the rest... at the bottom, of I catch the green light I probably go through at 35mph...
