There is no mercy in a peloton(of racers). It's only goal is to rip people's legs off, collapse lungs, blow out blood vessels, explode hearts, and to leave in its wake the weak in piles of exhausted debris along the side of the road to muster any remaining strength to make it home with a flicker of hope and the mental mantra that ...."next Tuesday will be different".

Tuesdays Holmes Ride makes no exception. It's remarkable that it's the same all over the world on Tuesday evenings as most cycling communities do the same thing.

You gotta love it. You gotta experience it.
