I have,
I think it varies from place to place, and team to team. All of the local Eastern Washington/North Idaho racers I’ve met have been down to earth and friendly. I have definitely noticed in the races that are big enough to draw people in from Seattle, the vibe is completely different. The friendly comments and jokes in the pack during the race, and conversations between strangers while riding back to the staging area from the finish line are replaced by people speaking only in hushed tones to their teammates. It might just be a difference in the cycling cultures in different places that says nothing about the character of the individuals, but I can defiantly see where the snobby elitist impressions people get from cyclists come from.
