No, I didn't get to push him over the edge. A few miles down the road they took a left and I went right. I had planned to take it into the hills. I kinda wished he followed me. It wouldn't have been fair to his friend if I did turn left as I was certainly stronger then his friend and I have no doubt that the AB would have left him strung out.

Wow. I feel this exact same way sometimes. Now that there's two of us, you wanna be friends or something? Or at least start a club or something? We could have group rides where we just ride around and make fun of people for not being like us.

Your at fault here. You cannot judge anyone else based on how they ride. I ride solo 95% of the time, its my personal time trial everytime. If I pass you at 26mph, I meant to. You were my target from 1/2 a mile away.
Don't be upset because you had a racing mentality and got smacked. I was riding my daily 50 when I saw a rider 3/4mile behind me, I held 21 mph into a headwind and was eventually caught, did I try to drop him? Hell yes! It hurt my pride because he was 20 years my elder and a cat 2, but its a life lesson. There is always someone with more wattage than you, deal with it.
Oh yes, and I want that jersey, I am an arrogant bastard. Love the ale and I don't mind eating my own words/pride.

I think you should start your bromance by waving to each other every time you pass.

You guys sound needy and therefore don't qualify as sane...

Lol, this thread... You would have dropped him within 250 meters if you really wanted to OP, sounds more like you couldn't.

I can handle getting dropped. Everyone has at some point in time...EVERYONE! I just don't enjoy it by an AB DH DB CS.
Sorry for my foul language.
