If you're gonna be a snob, get a better bike.... and don't get dropped by some kid who's trying to be nice.

However, this wouldn't be significant except that I dropped the group. A year ago I had to SPRINT to get to 26mph or so... but when I passed them today, my screen read "24". I thought I could never keep a 22+mph pace and not get tired. That's awesome. Main point is, keep riding and you shall find inspiration! It's a great feeling to do something that you never thought you could do.
