I'm not saying that all road riders are like that,
I will say it !
All the road bike guys I've met are all about time and distance, most are pretty cool about it though, it's just what they're into, and that's fine. (Its the road bikers that feel superior to anyone thats not on a road bike that don't acknowledge you on the trail or road that are the ****** bags lol)
