listen you lot. This is really simple. Spread the love. Wave, blow kisses, pull your cycling top up over your head to show off your be-tassled nipples, but just spread the love. If somebody doesn't respond - that's their loss and not yours

No, it's mine and you're not having it.

A sudden burst of acceleration can have effects on the subsequent interval set, especially for short duration intervals. Deceleration requires co-ordination among the riders & can be interpreted as the group easing off by the interloper. It also depends on how disciplined the ride is. A loosely planned training ride is hard to effect, a very targeted ride can be knocked out of kilter by one group interruption at the wrong time.
Never heard of a right or left turn, or are you lot that inflexible, I bet your coach pulls his hair out .

I've had a few training rides, solo & group interfered with. Group ones have been problematic & caused issues with the rider not understanding the group dynamic (eg elbow flick used to indicate someone peeling out of the line & the unknown rider thinking it's the 'pull through' signal)

Some of the solo ones have to the point of me chaining targets mid-ride, especially when a rider decides to do 'their turn' at the front in the middle my interval. It breaks concentration & rhythm, that's my ride close wrecked if I'm doing 20 min intervals!
GrasB, you take yourself far too seriously - we know how good, knowledgeable and dedicated you are - you tell us in nearly every post - relax a bit man ^_^

Your people skills also need development by the sounds of things - I have had people join me out on the road whilst doing intervals (power / HR zones, etc), and a friendly word to let them know what I am doing has always sufficed and not ruined my training ride. For example, a couple of weeks ago I saw a cyclist at some lights and he asked if he could ride with me - I simply told him I was doing 1 hour at a certain HR and so my speed may shoot up and down a bit to keep in range, but he got on my wheel which wasn't a problem - I got my desired training ride, I met a new cycling buddy and he did his first 20 miles in 1 hour by trying to stick to my wheel - everyone was a winner :thumbsup:

The Primary Universe is fraught with great peril. War, plague, famine and natural disaster are common. Death comes to us all.

The Fourth Dimension of Time is a stable construct, though it is not impenetrable.

Incidents when the fabric of the Fourth Dimension becomes corrupted are incredibly rare.

If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks.

Eventually it will collapse upon itself, forming a black hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence.

I've noticed when wearing a CC jersey I get lots more attractive young ladies smiling at me^_^
I'd try that with my CC jersey, but the local ladies probably wouldn't recognise a CC jersey (unless they're English expats).

Sorry I'm late to the thread ^_^. Looks like you all started it while I was in Noddy land.
