To me  it's better to be the slowest in a fast group than the
fastest in a  slow group!

As you may recall, Jonathan is out of town...there will likely
not  be a Sunrise ride this 16-17 June weekend since it is R2R
weekend.

Instead I would propose we sunrisers who might be doing the full
 century route...generally we know who we are...try to band
together  and trade pulls for the century.  We can stop at 50
miles, and if  really necessary, 75 miles.  Last year the lead
group came in ~4h30m  of saddle time...they stopped at the 50
mile mark...averaging about  22 mph.  If we band together to
make a group of ~10 people we can  probably make the route
averaging 21+ mph.  That would put us  finishing in ~4h45m with
about 5-10 min of rest stop time.  If the  big dogs do not go
too fast, we may even be able to stay with them  for a really
large group of 20 or so riders. Further, after this  weak cool
front passes, predictions are for mild mid-day temps and a
favorable SSW wind that Saturday.  It could be a hell of a day
for a  good ride.

Let's generally follow the sunrise rules of 1) stopping for
flats,  2) as much as possible, let's keep everybody together,
unless it  becomes necessary to split into a faster and slower
group...I just  do not want to leave anyone alone...(been there,
done that, don't  mind it, but it is no fun) and 3) if we pull
this off, in the last  few miles, go as fast as you want...but
be careful on the GHT. I  intend to wear the new GCC jersey.  If
we can really stay together,  we will look pretty good coming
in, eh?
