I did a slow club ride today (I am slow at the mo').
Total fucktard riding. Middle aged men (old enough to know better) drifting off the front, then stopping in front of us.
We had a 14 yo (on his 1st ride) who was struggling a bit, we could have really used some classier riding, classier than leaving him dangling off the back on a looong gradual climb into a force 4 wind – when you really want a tight group, classier than 'attacking' when someone (me) did some steady pulling rather than contributing a turn.
How do you tell a proud 50 year old man he may have been riding since his teens but he's shit at it?
