hos13 "Are you really racing, if you are the only one that thinks it's a race. "
That is the thing, is it really a race if you haul up to the person and pass them? Especially if they have no idea about the race, or if they dont care about you, then what does it matter?
Its also funny to think that you could be "racing" a guy who is on the last 10 miles of his century ride, and you are riding on mile 5. Is it still a race?
Here in Colorado especially on the climing routes, this race situation is settled very quickly because the hills expose what kind of rider you really are. Wannabies get dropped pretty fast. I say this because it has happened to me a couple of times with some amazing cyclists here in Colorado.
I was trying to stay ahead of them, and they were just out for a ride.
