Not a competitive bone in my body!
This year, at the CWC, I opted to do the metric route with a friend of mine who wasn't able to handle the full. My DH and the crew from the LBS (if you saw a train of guys in black and red kits, that was them - we had about 25 at that ride) did the full. I get dropped on that first 8-mile climb on that route. My best hope is to sweep them up later, when they blow up for charging too hard at the start!I don't have their power, but generally, I have endurance.
I'd be up for some new routes. I couldn't do crack-of-dawn rides, but later rides (esp. in the winter, when it warms up some!), I could certainly find myself in PA or elsewhere.
