TDZ is what a rider makes it. Is a group ride not aloud to have a bragging rights mad dash to a city limits sign or a max effort to the top of a climb? It may not be a race for everyone - so they can relax and not worry about a list of finishers. For me stage 4 saw me put down power levels that I have not seen for years so ya it was a “race” from the gun with or without results. Since I was surrounded by others I’m guessing not everyone was taking it easy. Either way I plan to do the next 5 stages flat out. By the way thanks for a great event. This has been great motivation for a lot of people.
