I've been on 3 group rides since I got my road bike a few weeks back.
I was talking with one of the locals toward the end of a ride, and he said he doesn't like a lot of local riders because they use team tactics.
The ride we were on was very fast ... but I didn't fully understand until this weekend, when 5 guys in the same jerseys eventually broke out alone by over-pushing the envelope (maybe 30 miles into 41 mile ride they just went into full out-non-stop sprint).
Is this common? I enjoy these group rides, they're fun, I love working on the group riding techniques.
