Janders-- My plan is the same as yours. Try to hide as much as possible for the first portion of the ride. Like I said, I'll be in the 17mph group as well with some friends. If you see a guy on a red Caad 9 and white Lazer helmet come say hello.
As for rides this week, I'm thinking of some nice easy 20-30 mile cruises. Might put in a couple of hard efforts on my repeats hill. It usually takes about 4 minutes, so that should keep the legs honest.
