Ah, Eric...you refer to the "race of Truth"...and there is no place to hide...that's why I love group rides...converve energy, go faster and have camradarie....and let's be honest...wow, time trials really hurt!... And of course the group organized rides are not just for corporate functions...most with a charitable component but are also cool country adventures...riding from milwaukee to Madison? that was cool...and there's safety in numbers doing it on the road...the glacial drumlin trail is another way but not as interesting as a group. One group ride coming up that is not corporate but of great interest is the Bike the Barns on the 27th of September supporting the local CSA organizing group MACSAC...to learn more about it go to macsac.org and hit the bike the barns section. We have a very groovy area and state to ride in....have fun and enjoy it! Troy T p.s I wasn't really trying to "network" during the ride...just make new friends...most of the riders were Milwaukee folks so it was cool to talk with them about their work there...Eppstein Uhen and many of their contacts are leaders in the LEED certified and green commercial building areas....and have done some amazing projects. Many of which we could emulate in our fair burg.
