Today I was riding at my usual solo pace of 26-28kph when 2 guys passed me, going about 30-32. One was on a nice expensive Tri bike, the other on a high end MTB. They were chatting casually. I approached them saying "Hi, don't mind if I get on your wheel?".
The Tri guy: "No need to ask, of course"
Me:, "Thanks, I asked because some Tri guys don't like it at all"
The Tri guy: "A******s!"
Made my day.
