I don't care much about racing others, but I am competitive(duh), but I really only compete in a couple of ways...
1) Against myself - trying to ride further and faster...
2) Against whoever I see in the distance that I want to catch
3) Against m.e. so I can p!ss her off...
I like trying to catch whoever's in front of me, but dropping them isn't a concern. I just use them as incentive to move faster until I catch up. Doesn't matter if they're riding slow or fast.
I believe everyone's competitive, but in their own ways and against their own measurement.
