It's an 8AM start, I think... I'd get there at 7AM, Terry... I'll probably be there shortly thereafter.
Need some clarification on how we're gonna treat this ride -- I hear from the grapevine that the front "racer" group heads out at ~30mph... I trust we're not going to attempt to keep up with THIS particular group... I'll be blown up after 10 miles...
Assuming that we're going to try to keep up an 18+ sort of pace, how do we want to approach this? I think we should try to congregate at the start around 1/3 of the way back within the 56 mile group from the front... The first few miles are a bit congested... Just hang together as a group, then modify the "attack" strategy as it occurs after those first few miles...
Unless Greg and company just want to bust ass for 56 miles....
