i rode to cape cod from boston one a 38t front ring and sat in a paceline that played in the 20-24mph range for some portion of it..never had an issue with spinning out.
a 38x11 will get you to 27+mph at 100rpms, a 38x12 will do 25+.
if i were to choose a road ring size that would remain friendly for dirt rides, a 42t in the front.
