A guy came up behind me while I was chugging up a nice hill in the 65lb velomobile, "are you going to beat me to the rest stop again?" he asked. I said "I dunno!" since there was about a mile of 4.5% (max 9%) left for him to get ahead before the 2.5 miles of 2% (max 5.5%) where we started before, then the 6 miles of -2% descent to the rest stop. With 3.5 miles of climbing before the downhill he got quite ahead of me, and I was not pedaling as hard as before, but I did barely beat him to the rest stop. The last mile and a half is flat and the final 500 yards goes up slightly at 2.2%. He was tucked in on his aero bars and pedaling so hard but it was not enough. My max speed on the descent was only 42.5 mph though.
