Now that my old fat dog stays home I went with a neighbor and his friends who are training for Colorado Ride the Rockies. http://www.ridetherockies.com/ A 380 mile 6 day bike ride through scenic Colorado. 3 passes that are 8,755ft, 11,312ft, and 12,095ft are on the route.

These guys are animals. Calf's as big as my thighs and rear sprockets the size of corn cobs. I spent most of the 70 mile ride drafting in the rear. I did take the front spot twice for a total of a 1/2 mile. After all unless you are the lead dog the view never changes. What amazes me is the speed in which they climb hills. If it wasn't for a flat tire I would have spent the last half of the ride solo. I was invited next week for their 100 mile training ride. I think that they need some one to laugh at.

That's hardcore! It sounds like some of the folks in my MTB group. They take off each week at the front of the pack and I never see them again until they are coming back down.
