My Trek to an Iron Man

Two miles away from my turn around point on my Saturday 40 mile ride, going in the opposite direction was a group of 5 in a peloton.  As they approached me  I could see them drafting and changing position. We passed each other and I saw they had a couple nice TREK bikes and were well equipped; going a good pace.  I got to my turn around point and got back up to pace.  4 miles later I saw the group of 5 about 1/2 mile up.  Well the challenge was on.  I was going to pass them.  I looked at my Speedo and it clocked 22 -23 mph.  I didn’t realize I was keeping up that pace.  I approached and proudly yelled out “ON YOUR LEFT !!!” and 5 surprised bikers yielded and I blew right past them. I never looked back and they never caught up.

It was great little moment for the ego.
