Oh, I was one of them
When there were only 3 of us left we managed to work well (less people to argue with
), and set a pace that the "weakest-link" managed to just keep up with. He had a blast, and won his age group. Re free ride: I was thinking about tagging onto a large group. I spend so much energy just braking and making sure I don't run into anybody, and hardly any actually pedalling...
But what with the somewhat explosive personalities on board, I don't think we'll be doing many races together. Unless we can recruit 2 or 3 more people at the same level to even things out.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
