Hey all,

I had an odd experience at Bananna Belt #1.

Third lap in, I was off the front of my field (W1/2) and was passing a rider (#970)
who was off the back of the men's 1/2 field. He proceeded to jump on my wheel as I went by
to draft off me. I politely told him to please not draft off of me, as I was still racing, at this point he made a
condescending remark to me, and dropped off my wheel to sprint by me a minute later, and then be caught and
dropped again.

I just wanted to bring this up as a reminder to people that when you are off the back of your field it does not
give you the right to jump in on other field's and interfere.

Thanks and happy racing

Leia

Hey all,

I had an odd experience at Bananna Belt #1.

Third lap in, I was off the front of my field (W1/2) and was passing a rider
(#970)
who was off the back of the men's 1/2 field. He proceeded to jump on my
wheel as I went by
to draft off me. I politely told him to please not draft off of me, as I was
still racing, at this point he made a
condescending remark to me, and dropped off my wheel to sprint by me a
minute later, and then be caught and
dropped again.

I just wanted to bring this up as a reminder to people that when you are off
the back of your field it does not
give you the right to jump in on other field's and interfere.

Thanks and happy racing
