"raced" today. Got taken out on first half mile. Tried for about 10 minutes with someone else to catch back up to the three's, but eventually we lost hope and just waited for the group behind to pass us. Eventually the master's caught us, so we just rode the back of the field. Turns out the masters are a bit slower then the three's. It was a tad bit more relaxing.
The wheel car was non existent. My teammate flatted on like mile 4. Waited 10+ minutes, four fields pass, but no wheel car.
