Everone rides out to Madison easy pace (20ish). We will stop for lunch in Madison for 30 minutes. The fireworks start coming home heading east. We are broken up into groups of various speed. Then the hammering begins. The group does not stop for flats or mechanicals, so be ready to help yourself if something goes wrong.

Here is some footage from 2016.

Here is some ride footage from 2018. The pace going east was fast. There were two national champions and some Trek factory racers on the front drilling it most of the time… going 25 to 32 mph. It get fast towards the middle. The first 15 minutes are a slower roll out of Madison.
