I mean, how can you beat raw power and stamina with guile and experience in a sport that requires more of the former?

I'd luv to learn some of those, also.
Seems like ridin with any sizeable group of 25-40 yr olds who are knowledgeable, frequent riders with good miles in their legs; they can drop TEAM 'wrinkle', at any time desired. I have no real 'counter-measures'... anymore
Other than that, becoming a tenacious and unrelenting wheel-suckin leech proves effective, for moi, when they're just toyin with each other.
Course goin out to play with the yung-uns is the problem. I should stick with kids my own age
