Did the Back To Work ride tonight. This is supposed to be 2.0-3.0, and true to form it was 3.0 to 4.0. The leader says roll out easy and boom it's 3.2. The front group put 5 mins. On the leader before he started shouting for us to slow down, ya right. We were going up a grade overtaking a large group of slower riders when the front attacks and I got gapped behind them. I chased for a minute but that was futile. I ended up with two others in the second group doing a steady 2.5-3.5 but one of them kept attacking the snot out of me. So I did what a good rider would do and sucked his stinking wheel for the rest of the ride. Attack after attack at 5,6,7 but he couldn't drop me. I smoked him in the sprint. Serves him right.
