I just remembered my first 30 miles of AOMM 2018. I flatted at mile 30 but including rollers the pack averaged around 28mph for an hour and I averaged under 150w. Maybe 35 feet per mile.
Not at all what we’re looking for but it was ludicrous.
Hincappie and three others went otf for a few miles early and got sucked back up in the blob.
Oh and a guy missed a barbed wire fence at 35 by a foot when he went off the side.
If I ever do that again I’m getting some strong local suckers to ride in the front 20 people to the mountain. Then we’ll all get dropped like rocks in a pond.
