Riding with a powermeter makes this kinda fun sometimes, esp on long steady rides. People will get excited and pass me, and I can usually tell pretty quickly if they are going to stay ahead or not.

Many times I'll just look down and think: "OK! We'll see how long this guy keeps at it." More often than I not I pass again within a few minutes, still going with a steady effort.
