Notes
COMMENTS: Holy cow, what a ride. I was doing fine up to about mile 18 and started noticing the front group pulling away. I was riding behind about 3 people so I went around them and tried to catch the front group. I peddled for everything I had about 3-4 miles and they were pulling away. I've never seen anything like it. I always knew a group can go faster than a single person but this was amazing. I finally gave up and two of the three I passed caught up with me so I filed in behind them and just the three of us can go faster than one but we never caught the main group. I would estimate they finished 5 min ahead of us. I saw a couple of them leaving the parking lot as we were approaching the school. This was a big dose of humble pie. I see what a group can do if you let them get away.
