that was a very loose and fast (and fun) descent. i'll have to check the garmin files but i'm guessing i hit 25-30mph on that hill after that turn. i passed a couple people there on subsequent laps cuz my buddies were there cheering and screaming for me. makes a difference. gives you that little extra motivation to fly and disregard the consequences. and ignore fact that you're slower than the rest of the racers in your group. much, much slower. lol.

That is a cool pic cheapie.... Hey if you need pointers I'm really good at being the slowest.... :) No seriously you're at least out there and doing something. Being the slowest at least gives me the motivation to get better and faster.

Based on the ride data you have provided I would hardly consider you slow.

i finished DFL in my group so i guess i'm only slow compared to everyone i'm racing. :heh:

See there is always a positive spin to put on something :) :) . But seriously I ride with a lot of people who are much stronger than I am. I can hold my own but when they want to kick my a$$ I'm no match. I just have come to the conclusion there is always someone stronger and faster and I just have to work at it little by little and since I'm only two years in I think I do pretty good. But thanks for the ego boost this am.....

Yep. Just when you think you are starting to get strong someone comes along and puts you in your place. I typically ride the same group ride every Saturday morning and have felt pretty strong in the group the past few weeks. I saw what strong really is this past weekend when someone decided to pull us along at 30+ mph for about 5 minutes and then still had plenty in the tank to take off and leave us in the dust when the sprint to the line occurred. Oh well, time to get stronger and HTFU.
