DaveFreds wear kit, too. We had a massive group on Sat. and I figured at
least one was a fair weather rider, though the bike suggested at least
one pro might have turned out. There were at least 5, one a national
champ. Afterward I felt kinda duped, having taken pulls for people who
could kick my butt any time they pleased. -

Just my opinion, as I ride with some ex-pro's and am getting better albeit slowly.

RoIt would help to know there are those present who can, and will be
shreading the group, so you can plan to ride a bit more conservatively.
I don't like to be a wheel sucker and don't mind taking pulls in
turn, but I tend to burn out faster than your average pro.Now I'm off to ride the desk for 8 hours :-\
It was still a good weekend and I managed 3 good rides over 4 days.

then you should have bought, borrowed, or stole a clue. The only obstacle is
tiny Sheriff's Hill, and if you can't get over that.... Well, as Ed Price used
to say, "if you can't keep up, we don't want you." -
