Jackrabbit Stampede

Mass Start 67 mile race with a cash prize of $200 to winner. Needless to say in an open race the winner took off and finished in 2:39. I pulled in with some of the local Mirage guys at 3:06 and a pace of 21.2 mph. A great ride and a great day just outside of Dallas. The support was a little lite and it could have had better traffic control but the group I spent the last 40 miles with was pretty well organized. Structured 2 line pacing, some odd breaks and I even got some good pulls on the front. I think I could have paced above 22 but not without the group. I have a 56 mile race on Saturday so I'm guessing a pace of about 22.5 mph assuming we can get a group that doesn't attack without reason. It's Sunday so I'm off to swim.
