I am the slowest of the bunch and still keep up because everyone regroups at the top of the hills.
anorange, thanks for the encouragement! I would hate to bump you from your spot as "slowest of the bunch" (which I doubt you are) . . . and I LOVED the NPC! It was the first time I did it and I had a great ride! I really didn't get enough training in before the ride and hope that next year will be better for me. Maybe next year I will find you guys and train with you! I did make it though. Here is my ride report on my first NPC:
