yeah after rest area 1 i struggled on my own for a while, then picked up a pace line of about 10-12 people and we rocked at about 12mph all the way to the 2nd rest area. i did the 55 mile route. the whole part after the 2nd rest stop was just terrible since there were only a few of us sticking it out there were no riders to make a paceline. there were only a handful of people at the final rest stop.
