We would stop at the rest stop... the guy on the hybrid would cruise by enjoying the day. We would take off again on our sleek bikes... fly by him... stop at the next rest stop... and the guy would go cruising by, never stopping.
See... I can't ride like you and BF did on this ride... I don't stop... the longest ride I have ever done is 83km (51miles) and I didn't stop although my partner and sons stopped for a stretch (I think riding as slow as me when they are with me hurts them is not so comfortable for them).
I prefer to keep going and stretch on the bike.

My style of riding doesn't suit fast bursts and rests... probably why I suck in road races, but do ok in time trials.
