On social rides, the winners categorically do not finish first!

I remember yelling it at him on the "easy" stretch in Kokopelli, when we were pushing 25mph on the flats... And up the rolling hills.

I'm still trying to figure out what any of this has to do with Tailwind?

Jason actually does social pace once in a while...Any one else wanna take that bet?
If you guys are referring to Koko it was indeed a social pace. We just knew what to expect and went the same effort all day long. In hindsight our 2016 Koko trip was not exactly a social pace though...
Exactly... What are we supposed to do when somebody else drops the hammer or starts the smack talk'n...It's always a social pace. Until it's not.

Everyone...Big Bear will indeed be a social pace, we promise. Lots of stops to regroup and no rider left behind. We can do this...

When I got my Tailwind today, and remembered it was a social pace, the lightbulb went off that I could win. So yeah, like Mikie said, THIS IS A SOCIAL PACE. Hmmm, maybe it should have also occurred to me that I'm not familiar with this trail at all, so it might be hard to win if I can't actually find my way back to the finish line.I'm still trying to figure out what any of this has to do with Tailwind?
I guess it will be a participation trophy for me after all.

Lonely, you would be lonely. The rest of us are taking our time - aren’t we? AREN’T WE?
Was that social pace or social race?

I think the official ride thread is the law of the land, and this one is just people being weird. I can confirm that the last social ride was mellow.Lonely, you would be lonely. The rest of us are taking our time - aren’t we? AREN’T WE?

With a group this size, the pace has to be social. Otherwise the fast guys are waiting so long for the rest to catch up that they stiffen up and get grumpy. 
Anyway, we've got @Faust29 running Sweep. If you'd like, I will lead and keep it at a Social pace.
Why are we talking about the upcoming ride here, anyway?

It’s all my fault. Tailwind excitement got the best of me.

We could always talk about beer instead of Tailwind or maybe even beer flavored Tailwind...

Come clean, now. Did you take a shot of Tailwind? That'll do it if you did.

Have you ridden with J in a social setting? I guarantee he will not finish first. He may finish last. It's in his nature to help everybody else have fun.
