I have not bike nearly enough. I felt very slow and was tired of people passing me. I had 6 guys pass me today. My bike was slow and it was not my best. About right where my training is. Passed Mike Ricci at the turn around. I am usually top 3-4 overall and I was not by even a close margin today. Something to work on.
