Last summer I was riding my Emonda ALR and stopped at a red light (Yes, I do that). A teenager pulled up next to me on a 1.1 with all stock parts. When the light turned green he stayed about 30 yards behind me for several miles as I was going about 16-17mph. A guy on a TT bike zipped past me when I was stopped at a stop sign. I used that as incentive to push harder, caught up to the TT guy and stayed about 30 yards behind him for a few miles at about 20-25mph. I looked back for the kid a few times, but didn't see him. Then he zipped past me and the TT guy like we were sitting still and kept going until he was farther ahead than I could see. The Trek 1.1 is not a slow bike.
