LBS is having 20% off of racks and accessories this weekend. They only sell Thule, so the OEM bars will still be cheaper than an aeroblade setup, but good opportunity to pick up a ThruRide for 20% off.

So, I tried a new group choad ride last night out of Cranbury - 5/7 ride, fast and relatively flat. Advertised as a B+ pace, it's really A-. Averaged 19.5 MPH over 34 miles. Good group of dudes. Hopefully I can get you guys out for some group choad rides around here at some point. The Thursday night B-pace hill ride out of Hopewell is 5/7 if you're looking for a solid hill ride that regroups at the top of every climb.
Peloton has been a thuper thound invethtment based off of my efforts last night. At one point, one guy went for a sign sprint and I lit the match and just buried him. Surprised myself with the power I was able to put down, hit 39 MPH.

39??
I hit 32 on my friend's track bike and could only maintain that for about a half mile before I was totally gassed. 39 is
So, road rides get classified by pace. Speed averages are assuming flat/rolling terrain.
AX: Hardman status, go til' you blow kinda ride. Race-pace, essentially.
A: Fast. 20+ average. Could be a no-drop, but usually these rides won't wait if you can't hang. Mix of racers and fast non-racers.
B: Quick. 18+ average. No-drop style. You'll need to be in shape.
C: Moderate, usually, a little bit faster than beginner. 16-17 MPH.
D: Beginner pace, ish. 14-16 MPH. Good way to get your tits wet.
I prefer group rides because I believe in safety in numbers. Riding solo can be sketchy, but sometimes it's a necessary evil.

Gracias amigo!
I wouldn't really suggest going on a D ride. They're usually old fat dudes that go really slow and take plenty of breaks. C is where I'd suggest you start, as most are no-drop but will challenge you a little bit.

Holy shit. I just checked the local group ride calendar and the one closest to me says the A group is 24-30mph???? B is 21-25, C is 20-22.

If it's all flat I could see that
It's definitely all flat around here. I really doubt I could keep up with even the C group, doe. The last 20+ mile ride I went on I averaged ~15.5. There were plenty of stops and moments where I had to slow down for traffic on the trail, but 20-22 is quite the leap from 15.5. Only way to find out is to show up and see if I get dusted.

They also bitch about getting out of breath. Which is often. C is a good place to start.
I would need to figure out storage of a choadie first if I did this.
