Thanks man! But this was not a rolling road race, this was a climb/descend RR
All joking aside, I'm not a climber and I don't think I'll ever be. I can't hold an 18 mph average on a course with 4500 ft of gain and that's what the winner of the race did.

Yeah...on lap two I could see a long string of riders on the climb. Lap 3 I saw a guy pull over and just put his head down.
Great experience none the less.
