Unless you are riding with groups that do 9+ hour centuries?
The groups I'm referring to weren't trying to race or anything, and they might have been riding casually/relaxed too ... just not taking advantage of the wind breaks. And actually, relaxing into the wind doesn't necessarily mean you're riding at a significantly slower speed.
Just that on a few occasions, I kind of got into the zone of relaxing into the wind, and taking advantage of every wind break ... and then looked back to see where everyone was and discovered they were some distance back.
