Re: went out on my first ride with a bunch of bikes.

I think JWR wins the group ride contest this week.

How's the bike feel at 100? Smooth? Mine feels pretty good at 95-100 but I can't stop thinking about how many feet along the highway I'll be spreading my spleen if I should go down. That and my ticket history keeps me mostly in the 75-80 range. Even at 100 it feels like I got a lot more, but I don't think I'm ever going to find out exactly how much. Maybe some sunny, windless day on a perfectly flat, smooth, straight, lightly travelled stretch.

I have hit 100 a bunch of times passing people on back country two lanes. A bit of an adrenaline rush, but surprising less scary than doing it in a car. The bike gets up there real quick and it's easier to squeeze back in.
