What speeds/levels of exertion are you guys doing during these rides? What are the "courses" like?
If I am out riding, I will typically be at tempo(200-250 watts, ave speed 18-20mph) I ride on suburban/urban roads. These are all 2 lane each way often with greenery in the median. I often try to nod toward oncoming riders, but with a head nod(exagerated enough for them to see) I often have no idea if they reply. Calling out hello is not really an option for someone going the other way. If someone says hello that is going the same way as I am, I will definately reply(if possible..I SUCK on hills...)
