We'll yell because we don't have time to explain the intricacies and nuance of a paceline at that speed.
I know riders who will actually grab you by the jersey and physically remove you from the line. That's how important it is to us to NOT have to deal with you.
Elitist? OK, I'll go with that since we've worked hard to get to the elite level, and we want to train not teach on Tuesdays.
And seriously, it has nothing to do with ego. It has everything to do with training at the highest level possible. Don't confuse the two.
I like you and I enjoy your posts...
But I have to ask...Elite? What category do you race?
A suggestion is to mention to people you do not know that this is a "private party"...training ride, whatever...but, more clubs and race teams would do better if they had a ride to "initiate" riders into the mystical ways of riding in a paceline.
