Is it standard for an unknown to hook on to a random peleton which happens to pass by?
It's almost parasitical!

Why don't they just race, why do they have to find the hardest road to practice on before and after?
I then have to follow them 5 abreast for 5 km to get to the freeway.
I am so glad they do not let them on the freeway.
By the end of week two I am tempted to take out the truck and just drive!
Dutchy I can just cope with you on our skinny roads.

i wasnt so much trying to ride with them, just pushing myself a bit harder to see if i could keep up for a bit...
happens quite alot... as long as you know how to ride in a bunch most riders will be ok with it...
ill hook onto many riders during my rides... a group/a single rider/a chick/an old bloke... as long as you are doing your fair share of the work in the group i consider it fine... i also have many people jump in with my rides, doesnt bother me.. working together you go quicker and you get to meet new riders etc, and can challenge yourself if the other riders are stronger....
