Yep. I always seem to end up near the back, no matter how I try. It's not that I'm slower..... I just cruise along without noticing the other riders in the group are passing me! And then, there I am, at the back again. But hey, my philosophy is that no matter where I finish, I finished...... while 5 years ago I was a sluggish marshmallow.
