I don’t know if it’s ironic or just “tough love,” but if I invited a bunch of friends to my ride and they dropped me like that, I would be kinda pissed.
Thoughts??
It's a dick move. If you're doing a club ride or a "friendly" group ride there is no reason to be leaving people behind. If it's understood to be a "drop" ride at the start then you expect it. Some guys get on a group ride and just want to start dropping everyone they can.
