Of course, the guys on the inside go through the corner wide, pinching the outside, and sending me into the cones/guy to my outside, and in-turn flipping me off and planting my helmet on someone's rear tire (cool tire mark on the temple, but I think I may have crushed it a little).

Guys were routinely hugging the inside lines, not taking corners how one would instinctively take them by starting wide and ending wide (at least, I thought that was instinctive). The front of the line was often lining up very inside, then sweeping wide, going much slower than needed.

My question: if people are lining up improperly for a turn, do you:

A) take the line with them so as not to go against the grain

B) line up the way you feel you should and hope they adjust accordingly (like I and a few others foolishly did)

C) sit up and let the carnage unfold in front of you, then hammer to get back into it.

D) time trial off the front and take the turns however you feel
