There was no racing involved in my story. There were a group of riders out riding. I rode with them for a while. It was a pleasant exchange for all involved. Where do you get "commute-race" out of that? As for all-out riding.... if I don't push myself a bit, I'll never get there. You ride "sedately" for.... how many miles? I'm guessing less than 5.
