>>1330995congrats on the spirit! i ride mostly alone, my experiences with groups were all pretty annoying and racing or competing in any kind of sport is something that i don´t care at all. i mean, i did it some times, but only for the training that i gained, i find competition per se boring, nor victory nor defeat shakes a hair in my non shaved calves.
>some over 60 guy who was the last competitor passed me with the police car after him.i once made a group ride through some sierras close to where i live, 2 days of pretty steep climbs and rocky descents.
and there was this big old guy, 70 years old, dressed like my grandpa going to church in summer, with a striped buttoned shirt, this almost formal chinos shorts (ironed and creased) and wearing brown polished leather slacks that beated almost all of us without loosing breath.
