I'm thinking you're faster 
. I have been racing my mtb out at Prairie City lately, but typically running in the back (usually 14t/20 or so). I'm pretty happy with that though - I'm doing better than I did last year and I'm still getting back the strength in my leg.
We could ride some time though. Starting end of May or so I will be riding to work in Rancho - we could ride after work or something along the bike trail. Frequently co-workers will ride with me out to Sac State, then turn around and head back to the office so they can head home.
And yeah, the Tarmac rocks. Riding it this morning, even in the wind, which I hate, was a blast. I was easily cruising along at 19-20 along the ARBT, was able to sprint to 26+ or so. The bike is so much faster, stiffer and comfortable than my Allez was. Carbon ftw

i signed up for a race in late May and im pretty nervous about it. i can cruise at 22-23 pretty easily for a few miles, my 2 minute intervals are around 25-26 and my sprints are up in the 34mph range. my longer solo rides seem to average around 18-20mph depending on terrain though. should be interesting to see how i do.
maybe one of these weekends when john stops being a vagina we can all go for a nice easy cruise on the trail.

What are the dates? Maybe I'll come check it out. I watched a crit in Davis last year on the 4th of July (I think it was the fourth, maybe the third) and it was awesome. Those guys ride CLOSE together and really cook.

MUAHAHAH I got my ***** up to 28mph on a flat in a sprint... I made it a good 10 pedals at this pace, before i slowed down and almost died... literally...
Justin gave me a speech about burning your matches in a race before I did it.. I then burned the whole box in one sprint
