My intentions of racing have certainly come up. I have told her about the crit practices they have here weekly and how I want to join up with them. I don't want to make assumptions but I'm guessing she's jealous of my abilities. We both bought bikes at the same time and have pretty much the same amount of miles on them but I just ride faster. I can't help it. It comes natural. Weird, because I was HORRIBLE at track in high school.

I routinely ride at her pace. Probably 95% of our rides. It's the other 5% that gets me in trouble. I've always been an athlete and I've always been incredibly competitive. I'm not competive with her though, as I know it's not her intentions. That's why I ride with the boys.
