Lessons Learned
The plan: draft behind the lead bike guide
Lesson#1 Stick to the above plan. Deviating from the plan to chase the racing pack can result in being left alone with a strong headwind. Or with a paranoid feeling of missing a turn because there’s no one in front of or behind you.
Lesson#2 Learn from lesson#1. Repeating the same mistake due to a sudden surge of mojo may result in results from #1 and being chased by a dog.
Lesson#3 Third time is a charm. Ignoring lesson#2 can be really rewarding when you keep up with the pack at ~28km/h for 17km. :) JuAnne
