Having ridden it last year, there's definitely tactics on how to ride the fondo. Last year i spent too much time at the very front of the groups i was with, and I spent too much energy bridging gaps to groups ahead.

I will be in the 3.5hr corral this year.
Last year I aimed for 5 hours, I did it 5 hour 10 minutes. I'm aiming for 4.5 hours this year.

I definitely need to draft more groups...I think I did a pretty good job drafting a group till squamish, but I got thrown off because I went to a rest station.

For 4.5 hours, how many rest stops do you think I should do? I think if I bring 2 bottles of water and 3 bars, I should only need to stop once.
