Often when people on bikeforums use the specific phrase "roadies in full kits", especially when coupled with the idea that they are "racing" they are using it as a pejorative. If that was not your intent then I apoligize, I just see it like that so often I hear it with a snooty voice. That's the problem with reading things online and not hearing the inflection, etc. of the person speaking.
