I'll admit to occasionally deriving perverse pleasure out of blowing past a chauvinistic 14 year old male. I figure we've got to put them in their place early. It's like: "You think you're faster than me just because you're male? Well, I've been riding for 30 years and I train and I have good technique. So watch me blow by you. Now go learn how to ride."

Your experience sounds totally infuriating, deena.
