I do a local group ride with my club (Team Velocity in Fullerton, CA) a couple times a month. There are 3 groups and I usually ride in the middle group (rec group, intermediate, and advanced) but today it split very quickly and I was out with 4 really fast guys, 2 guys about my ability, and myself. About 13 miles in is the first climb and it got real fast real quick. Three guys went off the front and I stayed with them for a few miles. Another guy was a little behind me and we dropped the other two completely. At the top of the toughest climb I was hammered and out of my league. The guy behind me got passed me but I got him back two miles later on the last of some tough rollers. After that it was all recoup. I am pretty exhausted but happy I hung with the big boys for a bit.

I ride with a couple of guys on occasional Fridays who also ride with Team Velocity, and they seem like strong riders to me, but they've said that just hanging off the back end on Team Velocity rides makes them feel good.
