True, I couldn't get away but I just wanted to work them a little, if I could. Surprise attacks, catch them napping maybe. When riding with traffic lights if someone can get going and sprint then everyone will chase back on. This could tax them a little, too.
Actually, the best I could hope for is that the climbers would wear each other down making it easier for me to stay in their same zip code later in the ride.
