Why would a man assume he was automatically a better cyclist?

Men.

You'll just have to hand it to 'em again next year

Well, my lippy reply would be if they didn't even train and are now "gunning for you" (who worked hard to train etc.) next year... "...glad to be of help, boys, in giving you the motivaiton to get off your a$$ and do something about it". Gheez... egos. Not just guys, I know some women this way too.

While yes, there are some physical athletic advantages men have over women as fact... but if you trained hard, then you deserved your results. That inner drive isn't something that's train-able (which they seem to be a bit lacking of)... it comes from the heart. Good for you.

Funny, my DH and I were having the same convo recently. I've been asking him to ride and he's refused but now that I've gotten a (male) cycling buddy my DH is suddenly "into" biking. He thinks because he's a guy he can immediately start riding 30+ mile rides without having been on the bike in decades...lol

His *ss might have a thing or two to say about that.

Because he's a man. They do that, you know.
