[srs]Not a conventional route, so I need people to tow the line, or rather, stay in the line that's being towed. These are the options:
riders start to edge past me, I miss the turn, or they miss the turn, or I accelerate to get to the turn first, people get shelled out the back, we have to stop, wait, regroup, retrieve people that have shot off in the wrong direction, blah, blah, blah.
riders adhere to the tempo being set (a tempo that attempts to anticipate the impact of changing power demands due to varying terrain, or the impact of technical demands due to road surface/twistiness), everything flows, time melts away, vague allusions to Zen Buddhism, blah, blah, blah.[/srs]
