mroy - I might agree that it's easier to stop and get out of the way if you're climbing up, but's it's WAY harder to start up again after stopping! I think that is part of the reason it's set up as the downhill riders yield. Plus, it's a bummer to have to break a rhythm while climbing to stop for a a downhill rider.
I wonder if those riders who were "training" had team jerseys on, or if they were just training for personal gain... if they had a team jersey on I might be inclined to drop a letter to their sponsors or manager of the team. |

| Yes, most of them are on a team (I am familiar with the jerseys). I know they have a website, perhaps I will write something now, or wait for one more encounter. I don't know. |

Do you think these "team riders" who don't yield on the way down, yield on the way up?
I would get the feeling that they don't yield either way. It would be very interesting to see what happens when they don't yield to me as I'm climbing.
They just might be "suspended" from their team after losing the game of chicken with me. :nono:
I don't care if they're on a team, or even GOVERNMENT riders, if there were such a thing. Arrogant bikers just further my cause to shut 'em down. |
