Arrogant cyclists

[lukesdad]

An example 5 min group pull training scenario:
Group warm up
Group tempo at a reasonable pace
5 min high power pulls up front each member of the group doing 2 reps at the front.
Back to tempo for a given amount of time

5 min high power pulls up front each member of the group doing 3 reps at the front.
Group cool down.

That's a 3-4 hour training ride with 4 riders & 2 sets of 40-60 min at very high speed.

so what you are saying is you are inflexible ?

No worries Steph, takes a wee while: one day a handsome French man will wave at you, you'll forget about gripping the bars

Then she'll hope that he's also good at first aid?

I'm sure i passed you guys recently on my Cx bike. I was near freewheeling at 36mph - solo.

Solo! You lieing scumbag! You were sucking the back wheel of my hybrid, I was on the way home from Sainsbury's at the time with my weeks shopping in the panniers. Don't you remember, I think I was wearing my No Fear T-shirt, camo cargo shorts and white trainers?

Did you do a PaulB and wait at a junction then just shove your front wheel out into road midway through the group and start saying "Hi, loving your Assos!" as you moved up through the them?

Didn't have time to think about it. Passed them in a flash. Boom!

Seriously, why should someone as an unknown come in & wreck a training ride? That is what joining a group without invitation can do. Just joining an existing group without asking is down right rude.

Well it sounded better in my version. The truth is out now though. Pedro - wheel sucker.

Wow, sounds like fun. When can I join?

You'd be too fast

I wouldn't be allowed in, as I don't have the Power Meter badge on my handlebars.

Also why bother when you can just doodle past them? Seems a hassle going through the group. Ask @I like Skol. He knows what i mean.

What are you drawing as you pass them?

Don't be an arse Grass, you re putting you and your mates up to be the Creme d'la creme and you can't deal with an interloper ?

Very little air. Just out on a recovery ride.
