OP here. The Sheridan road "scene" at times is an ongoing open race. People are hopping from wheel to wheel. Large groups form at times. If its an organized club ride, everyone in club jerseys, I',ll just linger at the back. Pretty friendly people for the most part, and the vast majority up in years like me. Grey beards everywhere. If I get in with a group my goal is to smooth the paceline as best I can. Keep off the brakes, take smooth lines thru turns, even out the yo-yo effect as best I can. But at times I find myself trying to get max effect from drafting really tight, more out of habit I guess. Gotta get myself to back off and keep it safe.
