I was going to do this ride easy and I did start out easy with the slowest group, They didn't seem too slow... Whatever pace I rode at they did too, at 3 miles miles or there about I tested my theory, I went a little faster they stayed with me I picked up a little more then they drop back but not that far if I would have slowed at any point within the up to 10 miles they would have been all over me... I went looking for anyone that was riding at my pace. I found a few but they dropped off, A few were way to strong for me so I dropped off. Much of the ride it was solo, trying to catch those in front of me at my watt output. AS I could see them they could see me it was a race , just like those behind me. It was fun and tough to keep my position the last 3 miles it was really tough they didn't know when I would stop and the same for them. A few I was making major ground then they disappeared, they stopped, and I did catch one guy and raced to what I called my finish line! Another awesome adventure finished with a smile of Success! Be safe out there and remember to finish with a smile of Victory...
