Was just thinking that pro riders might think anyone below their level are not ‘serious’. But then Cat 1 riders might think anyone below Cat 1 isn’t serious and on and on and finally it gets down to us, recreational enthusiast, many of which look down on anyone not in their ranks. It’s all relative.
