Why with my attitude?

I have been riding with the same few groups for over 10 years. I have been living in the same area that long now. Been a member of the closest cycling club that long too.

But riding with other groups for over 25 years.

After a while most riders get to know each other, so if a teenager in street clothes and sneakers shows up and tries to "destroy" all the group, I'm pretty sure it would be mostly ignored. It wouldn't anger me in the slightest.

I have seen some younger guys in cutt of pants and t-shirts come to the track and to crits in the past and not last very long in races. It's only happened 2 or 3 times. I do live in a large (not by USA standards) city of around a few million and the larger group rides and club/open races have many pro tour and continental team riders in them depending on the time of year. A teenager in sneakers would go more or less ignored.
