Hi Bluetree, Hi Everybody...

This is very interesting. I had this exact conversation with my husband Saturday on the way back from mt biking. It is what prompted me to post my I need a Pep Talk thread.

I get that same way when I am mt biking with our group, which is all guys by the way.
The DH says...what do you expect...we (the guys) ride at your race pace, so I am riding at my max the whole ride. End result..Fried Quads.

I would agree with everyone else....adjust your pace. Can you make the change and still ride with the group?
