Heh. I ride with a group of CATted racers every Tues and Thursday. They usually get around our 32 mile loop in around 22 point whatever mph. It has 6 miles of flat at the beginning and end of the ride, and everything in between is rollers that peak to a good steepness so you slow way down near each crest, plus a 1.5 mile long monster hill at gets to above 12% in two places.
My previous best had been right behind them at 21.7. I've finally tinkered with the lowracer enough and gotten enough training and time on the bike in preparation for a 500 mile 4-man Texas Time Trial RAAM qualifier.
Last night I rolled in with a 24.2 avg
. I got yelled at last week for passing the entire paceline of 30 people in one single flyby, and last night they were so pissed n one said a word to me.
So don't worry - we're getting noticed here, at any rate
