So I don't mind chit-chat to some degree. I don't generally prefer focusing on somebody's wheel all day. If I get stuck in a group doing paceline at higher speeds I eventually look for a straggler and hang back to socialize with them. I have viewed our annual WI trip as like a 9 day rolling party where you mingle all around the group conversing with whomever is next to you. And then sometimes I feel like grabbing on to a pace line and burning leg all afternoon.
