First Race Coming Up. Any Advice?

Well... yesterday I had this same thing happen except he put his hand on my butt. He had it there for about 30 seconds and it wasn't a flat hand either it was a finger tips poking into my butt hand. He did help me bridge the gap but after that I fell back with my riding buddy because I didn't want this guy behind me not to mention they were pushing upwards of 30 - 31 MPH. I feel this was inappropriate???

It happens. In one race last year I had three different guys give me a "push". One of them really grabbed my rear end pretty well. It was a tough race, so I didn't mind the help.

If you're not into it just say "Hey thanks for the push, but no thanks".

Cycling is a strange sport, isn't it?

Okay then I'm going to assume nothing of it. It just caught me off the cuff and I wasn't sure what to think. Glad to hear this is normal. Thanks for the info.
