make sure you have a copy of the route map, or have it mapped into your GPS or however you navigate. That way you can tell him to go ahead without you and you can find your own way. My husband, while not a CAT 3 rider, used to finish ahead of me and then he would log in some extra miles by coming back to ride in with me. That doesn't apply anymore since after three cross country rides, I can ride a biit faster and a bit longer than him, so now I sometimes go back and meet him. Turnabout is fair play.

Congratualtions on all of your events and have a marvelous time.
