My buddy had a huge surge of energy this morning and it took all I had to hang onto his wheel. We started at 19.5 mph and slowly picked up the pace. We passed a tandem that was doing 23mph, picked up a tailwind, and then John dropped the hammer and all of a sudden we're doing 26. Got to the end of the bike trail to head into midtown and I check my computer: we'd averaged almost 22mph! That's faster than I rode the bike portion of my last triathlon. Sheesh. That's what I get for riding with a former Cat 1 racer.
