That's the way it worked back when I rode in "full Lycra," anyway (to borrow a term from a currently popular C&V thread).
20 years ago, that might have happened with this group. Now, we're actually friends, not just riding acquaintances, and it was a steady tempo on long climbs kind of day, with lots of chatting. I was just a little bit off (lingering fatigue, I think). All that said, MAMILs would be an accurate description of our group.
