Well, I hate to be a dissappointment, but I never went back --many reasons why, but the primary one is I moved across the country shortly after that.

It's a year later and I'm a year stronger, and I've had the fun of being in high-20s pacelines this summer. I realize my major weakness last year was not having the strength to maintain those speeds over rollers and other annoying inclines. I'm pretty sure I could hang with them now, but I'm a short 6hr flight away. We'll never know....

(Actually, I'd love for a couple of those guys to head this way and we'll go climb some mountains )
