thats what i'm thinking too, get with the right group. i used to be a pushover, i'd find a wheel then we'd pass a group and someone would jump on and take the wheel i was following. this year i was way more aggressive, when someone tried to butt in i just wouldn't let em. they can get behind me!

so sorry about the flat. you did a great time for having a flat!

i was waiting at the last turn for hubby and some poor guy flatted right there, i think i would've rode in on the flat!
