This was not by choice . If you didn't keep up, the train was leavin' without you! We did have the benefit of riding in a pack for all but the last 15 miles or so. We (Pico and I) probably could have knocked a few more minutes off, but we stopped when one of the riders knock over an old lady on a hybrid. The rest of the pack didn't stop (pretty lousy, IMO), so we we're on our own for the last leg.
