Mike, without working any harder you can add 10km/h to your speed if you're in a pack. Only the guy at the front is working at 60km/h for short bursts and if you're more than a few bikes back you actually get sucked along. It's great fun but you need to be on your toes - and it usually is involves riding with the posers on Beach Road. Ooh ahh.
