Yep, I saw it coming but had just put in a pull, so I wasn't recovered- as much as you can recover while going up Mitchell, anyway- yet, so it just wasn't there when Charlie jumped.

Rte. 80 is fairly painful when Boyd J is on the front for 2/3 of it, and me and a couple of others pulling when he wasn't...the Parkway was worse, though, with Boyd still killing it and Ryan, Charlie and me rotating through as well. That's what got rid of everybody but 5 of us, and then Boyd pushed a little too hard and he and Nathan from Lenovo dropped out of the lead as the three of us continued on. We went from 100+ in the group at the start of the climb, to 15 at the Parkway entrance, to 5 with 10 miles or so to go, and finally to three with 7 or so miles left.
