I know who you are now...

Montrose Ride, a peloton ride I have been trying to catch once in other Saturday. Basically it is about 150 riders, cranking hard on the open street in average 35mph. What I able to hear in a group is nothing but wind and bearing running wilds (imagine 150 riders crank at the same time). Today I did the same, tried to squeeze in the mid pocket of the peloton, same as usual see some good shape female rider at my front all the way till Arrow Hwy, Irwindale. That is the toughest part of the ride, group will tend to crank harder to beat the street traffic light. Todat I felt my condition was bottom out before hitting here. Riders passing me. I figured out next time will be better. I started slow down. While my mind was running, I feel a hand on my back, and told me "Use your gear, use low gear". I looked back...hey, this guy look familiar...I saw him in Bicycling Magazine or Velonews...I know he is from Team United Toyota, then I found out his name here-Ivan Dominguez, below is his 2008 race result;
