Analytic Cycling - Online calculators for power required for riders of a particular weight, going different speeds on different inclines, etc
ExRX.net - See ratings for how good your resting heart rate and VO2 max are compared to the general population. For the VO2 max calculator enter your age and sex, and then fiddle around with entering different treadmill times until the value of VO2 max displayed is the same as that obtained in your test. The percentile ranking (% of population that is lower than you) in the score box will give you a good idea of how extraordinary (or ordinary) your values are.
