I had a terrible entry spot, but great exit, last row which helped.

I think there was ample room to pass but the wetness of the handlebars and the rain made it hard to over commi9t. 16 mph was good but i could have done better in better conditions

Maybe get the gloves on. The rain threw me off, but I was enjoying the ride!
