[Bent] A + ride report

[JOHN TETZ]

I did an A+ ride with a group consisting  of  40s to mid 50s and they do the exact route every Thur evening. 
Some are active racers and are excellent pace liners.  

I have been wanting to see what I can do with them so I got my VFS streamliner out. 

Conclusion. As good as this streamliner is it simply cant make up enough for age. 

I stayed with them for about 14 miles but couldn't keep up at 27, 28 mph along a flat section. 
So I cut off just before a steep but short hilly section and got back on the ride route. 
I figured they would catch me so I continued to push. 

I got back to the parking lot and less than 5 minutes they came rolling in. 
I averaged 21 for 27.8 miles. They averaged 22 + for 29.5 miles. 

It's a good thing I did this before I get old . Ha.
