A banner that says "I eat Strava pb's for breakfast "
Sorry but i only wave to those who are either as cool as me or cooler and i make DHB clothing look like 2014 Assos gear!!
I've been known to have a face like i've just eaten a lemon after seeing mismatched clothing and mountain bikes with road tyres. It infuriates me that anyone can go and buy a road bike. Surely it should be more elitist than that? Maybe a new law that starts newbies and the overweight on hybrids and clothing that indicates their skill level. Much like belts in Karate but more prominent. I mean we have a right to know what numpties we are sharing the roads with!! Much less have to wave to the dafties too.
I think you talk a lot of sense there.
I wonder how practical it would be to stop all hybrid riders from posting in anywhere but the Cafe. Something to ponder....

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!

Very little air. Just out on a recovery ride.
Wonder if there's a recovery ride group in Gras's Club?
Do you reckon they stop for a break and have a "Club Sandwich"? :BaddumTish:

No, we're quick but even for quick riders an interloper who doesn't understand the rules of the ride can wreck it if they change the dynamic enough.

No he doesn't mean that! Otherwise he would have said "my training rides are impenetrable 99% of the time".

Yeah OK, we've understood your quick < you ve told us often enough > but I still don't understand how the interloper gets embroiled in your training rides.
