Maybe it depends on where you are. At the back of the pack, it doesn't feel anything like a race, in my experience. Can't say what things are like up front. On the other hand, I've seen "people out for fun" -- self described as "shaved leg roadies" by one I chatted with on the New Years Day ride -- riding around Hains Point in a peloton wearing their team kit looking a lot like what you see on TV in the Tour de France (and according to the guy I chatted with, replaying TdF videos in their mind when they're doing it). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
