We're not planning to "hammer" the ride, since neither Dave nor I have been doing a lot of long distance riding -- so whatever your planned pace, we'll look to hook up at the start! I'll be wearing my VITE jersey...

I'll look for you guys up front too. This is also my third year for the Shiner GASP. The first two years were on a wedgie. Never again! I haven't had as much training this spring as I would have liked so I am not sure what my average speed will be. I am guessing it will be around 18-20 for the first 60 miles and slower after that!

Dave and I aren't going to be haulin' a**, but an 18-20 rolling pace for the first half sounds doable... PB

Honestly I don't remember for sure. I know HHH had recumbents up front last year, and I think Tour de Paris did too. I guess I just assumed Shiner did too when you said "hook up at the start". Somehow I got "front" out of "start". But now that I think about it....I think Shiner was just a 'mass start' from a parking lot last year. No 'recumbents in front' rule. In any case, I am sure we won't be (at least I won't be) the fastest ones there so I'm not worried about it.

I actually prefer to not start at the very front. I have noticed in these rides that if I start at the front, people pass me and that makes me feel like a slowpoke. If I start further back, even halfway back, I pass a lot of people, and that makes me feel fast.

They didn't do it two years ago when I rode.
