Childish and immature = male

It is not a bad thing for someone to be tailing another person. Gives extra motivation to both of them.
Last Thursday after merging on to a MUP, I was passed by another roadie while I was spinning up to speed.
It turns out he was going a tad slow and I passed him a few minutes later. The rest of the distance on the trail he was following me fairly close. No biggie. I just rode faster and had a blast. Too bad he didn't pull at all but it was a better workout for me.
