Most of the riders in the group were younger. Its actually less than 50 Miles. Here is what the ride looks like. The first stretch of about 3k/just under 2 miles is my easy ride to the store to meet the group. The last stretch of about 10K/6 miles is the last part through city streets home.
I was working hard quite often as I am still learning how to ride in a paceline, so I tend to lead the line a lot or play catch up. That stretch that you see near Vancouver airport was fast.

You should consider entering a race.
As for me, 17.8 MPH over 38 miles, 35 in the pace line, one stop.
