2 hours of XP farming (including a "race")

Started off with a 45 min double XP group ride on route of the week, and then jumped in with Constance for 20 mins or so before jumping into a race.. But the race was giving out 1000XP for finishing it and XP at banners. I didnt want to race today.

Seemed like many didnt. Easiest race start ever. Like 8 mins at 170w steady. I was happy sitting in the bunch and maybe sprinting at the end, or following an opportunistic move if it happened, but I wasnt in the mindframe or the legs to race.

At the 9km or so mark I followed across as someone accelerated and rolled through to the front into a downhill ramp and as I sat down I noticed I had a 12m gap. So I stood up and held 360w for a few seconds and it was 30m. They did not respond at all until I had a 12 sec gap. Their move closed it to 6sec, but they stopped again and looked at each other. It then grew to 55seconds while I was totally in control and cruised to the finish!

Classic! This happens occasionally these days, people see me in some events and just dont bother following!
