definitely. Calling people trolls and telling them not to post doesn't work around here

Interesting you said that. I ride the Houston to Austin MS150 every year. I am not fast...avg about 16 mph. And every year, I pass slower riders all the way there. But, I'm also still getting passed by speed demons and pace lines 50 or 60 miles out. I often wonder how they could be so far behind that they are just now passing me. I wasn't riding fast and I didn't leave early. I wonder if they are asking themselves if I cheated (like you could cheat on a charity ride).
It seems there is more to it than most folks realize. Not every slow rider in front of you cheated.
