You should be be very proud to ride at such a high level with such an accomplished group.
Thanks for the nice comment. I don’t want to mislead....27-31 in a Paceline is not an everyday occurrence for me at all. I’m more normally capable of 22-25, but when the pavement is good, other riders are good and I’m able to ride above my norm, I get great enjoyment riding faster. And then afterwards, going home for a nap.
