Yeah its basically impossible, you would have super strong, I wonder if fastest riders in this group would be able to. They must be pacelining and rotating leaders up there on the fast days but IDK how long of pulls they do.

do you know if these rides are up to date? Apparently there is a 22-24 mph race going down Canada tonight.... might have to hit that up. Didn’t bring my helmet to work, would they require one? Hard to imagine the racers would turn me away. I have one with me I can use but it’s way too small and restricts my breathing. Nothing on their website in the riding etiquette section says I need one.
