Many riders at the Vuelta use the ride to train for other race/athletic events, whether it be a triathalon, Ironman, RAAM, or many other extreme edurance events. For instance, Selene Yeager of Bicycling Magazine used the Vuelta to train for the 'Absa Cape Epic' a mountain bike stage race in March to April in South Africa. In order to ride the B group at the Vuelta Puerto Rico one must maintain 18 mph for the entire day and/or the event, having participated in it, the B -group is equivalent to the NYCC A-classic and A-23 group. The C-groupi s equal to the NYCC A19, B-18, B17 groups, they must maintain a 15 mph rate. The entire climbing elevation for the 3 days is roughly 13,000 ft.
great photos.
was this some sort of gran fondo-like ride?
I thought NYVelocity was a racing site? If you go to the NYCC website you can find an article by a couple of B riders who did this tour. They probably averaged about 14 mph, iirc.
I like that the Wheelsucker who posted this couldn't find 3 different photos so he repeated the photo of riding on the hiway.
Yes, the A Group in PR stories did sound a lot like La Vuelta de Gimbels multiplied by 6..here is a slideshow of the sun, fun and camaraderie that were established during the LaVuelta Puerto Rico 2010 ride.

Looks like La Vuelta de Gimbels.
Selene Yeager of Bicycling Magazine writes about the A-group in LaVuelta Puerto Rico 2011, A-group averaged over 20+ MPH over the course of the event:
