I learned the hard way that when I came off the front, not to let my speed drop too far off. After getting shot out the rear like a piece of ****, I learned to drop off slowly, keeping my speed up so that when the last bike passed, I was up to the speed of the group, fell into line, then rested as the line pulled me along. Resting while you fall back is a big mistake.
