I was in a very small race this weekend away from my usual club ride (13 people) with 2 women in the group. It was 63 miles, I hadn't really trained lately so it was just a ride for me and I finished 45 minutes behind the winner. I checked the finish time and the women were in the top 5 with a finishing average of 23.2 MPH over 63 miles. Pretty impressive to me especially with such a small group.

Dang, 23 for 63 miles is fast. Hills?
You still race? Racing has cross my mind several times but the time commitment is what kept me from doing it. I want to ride the track again mixed in with some local crit racing. Doesn't getting back up into speed out of a turn require so much interval trainint. It sure hurts like heck.
