Finally rode with the Pedalers! This was supposed to be a 1 hr ride, so their plan for tonight was perfect for what J assigned.

Started out at the back of about 12 people. Began passing others about 3 miles in, on an incline. Found a middle-aged guy in a neon yellow shirt in the middle of the pack whom I could pace well with and drafted behind him until the little hills started catching up to him. So I passed him too. I could see 3 people waaaaay ahead in front of me, figured they were the rest of the middle of the pack. Passed one of those 3 - he was the group leader.

Rode the last 3 miles with no one in front and no one behind. I was roaring down those roads, clocking 23 miles pedaling on the flats and continuing to pedal on the downhills - these were all familiar roads.

Returned to the parking lot in an hour flat. This is the fastest I’ve gone so far: 15.3 mph, for an hour. I was ASTONISHED to realize I had arrived THIRD out of 12 people!!! All more experienced than I.

Also: no one in that group has legs as nice as the person I used to ride with.
