Today wasn't that though, I took it easy on the way in, got passed twice and didn't even chase. Beautiful day if you don't mind 80% humidity and there were 5 or 6 cyclists out, which is a lot for weekday mornings here.
I hammer hard in the morning, trying to do the whole 20 mile ride as fast as I can. I take it a bit easier in the afternoon, but push it up to a 30 mile ride, taking a longer but safer route.
