Honestly, go for it!
Right after I got the folder I showed up to a weekly group ride that I do often (baggy shorts and mtb shoes) - most the guys knew me, but there were a couple of guys from a local team that did not. One of them said "I hope those little wheels can keep up". I pulled most of the ride and topped every climb first. He had nothing else to say to me. It's a little disadvantaged on the flats, but climbs as well as my road bike.
