get him girl.. I swear guys have no faith in our gender sometimes. My guy is on the local team and I am not allowed to ride with them yet till I get a good road bike because he says if I get dropped I'll probably get lost. Hello, they bike in my town.. I will always know where I am.. maybe those dorks from other towns will get lost. I think I know where I am going. And as far as speed, I could probably ride circles around some of them. I bet you could too hun. I would have reacted the same way if not worse, lol.
