Fast and furious. Hung for about an hour and then was totally shattered. Awesome ride.
Is that "base training endurance/tempo" pace for those guys? If not, why are they "hammering" in November? I ask because I've been considering doing some group training rides (in the Atlanta area), but I always tell myself to stay disciplined and "keep with the base training". Was hoping to hear that the "fast paced group rides" slowed the pace down during the winter, and maybe they have, but just not enough for my level of training.
