So, got to ride with the roadies this saturday past. Great ride, I loved the speed and challenge of it. I got dropped about mile 30 (damned hills) but it should get better as I ride at that pace more. Great group. Good to meet you all.-David

O yea, the pace was definatly faster than advertised :)

Hi David - Yes, the groups have gotten faster, or we are getting slower . . . Just kidding. I too am just starting to ride with the club this year and got dropped on one of the hills last Saturday. But hang in there, we will get stronger. I'll look for you next time, at least we can ride back together :-)

Definitely keep at it, and soon you'll be hammering with the rest. BTW, my moving average speed was 18 mph - the upper end of the long riders' advertised pace, but still in the 16-18 window. Not that we weren't going a BIT faster than that some of the time, tho!

lol@ abit faster. prior to the sleepinging indian I am not sure we were below 20mph hardly at all. When I hit about 220 lbs I am sure I will be a monster lol.-David
