This was just as I was abreast of the front car in the gaggle. Feathered the pedal, hit 5th, and moved back over when past that car. The less time you are exposed out on the other side, the better off you are.
That's EXACTLY the situation I want to avoid, glc. I try to get around even one car as fast as I can.
