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.
Most training rides involve some kind of pace variation. During the slower periods you get a rider who you think is going through the group but actually are inviting them selves into the group & stay there. A bit like PaulB working his way through the group. This can cause issues when the group wants to go to their higher intensity or if the group is doing some specific training which isn't to do with rider strength.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.
Oh yes we are <insert Punch & Judy smiley>Ohhhh, no you're not.
I find i'm always the first to nod or put a hand up saying hi. If I leave it and no one does it. I like to do it though as I find it one of the best bits and thats to in some sense soiclize with others while cycling. 60% of the time someone does it back if I do it. If they don't and they make eye contact with me I make a discreet but loud enough "what a dick". Fair enough if they don't see it happens a lot where at that moment they focus on something else but its them ones who give you the cold shoulder seeing I have done it. meh. I cycling in the Altura team or wiggle jersey(or Spider-man every f***er says hi then :P even random drivers and peds ) and ride a Focus varidio 2.0 so I would guess that put me in the middle class?

Excuse me............ what's that your sayin'?
Of course... we're not paid to do this so 5.5-6.5w/kg isn't really on the cards we do have jobs!4-5w/kg.
Pfft-amateurs.

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.Like decceleration or acceleration ? I would have thought that shedding an interloper would be a cracking exercise, or is that not in the manual ?
