A legend in our own minds? or Admired by our peers?

Skills are like Penis size - if you really have some you don't feel the need to brag about it.

I think I am mediocre, also. Not keeping up with the fast guys, but ahead of the slow guys. I'm also not the guy who goes balls to the wall trying to keep up. I've seen/heard about that happening way too many times. Anymore, for group rides, we will just get ahold of each other via PM or phone calls to set up group rides.

Sometimes.

One of the most naturally talented riders I know is a big mouth.

He won't necessarily brag about his "skills" perse but he is definitely not short on confidence and doesn't mind tell you that he'll teach you a thing or two.

are you hinting that your next handbag will be a nice green shade of envy?

I know I'm not a fast rider. I have a "fast" bike, but I know I will never be good enough to use it to it's full potential, and I'm ok with that. I don't ride to be fast.. I ride because riding makes me happy.

Although I will admit it's nice when people have complimented me.. but I'm also happy to hear constructive criticism so that I can improve.

My ultimate goal when riding is to have fun and enjoy the road, but a close second is to continue to become a better rider.

When I think about it, my riding skills are about the only thing i'm not cocky about.

And you have Pete, Jerry and Brad to thank.

And Frank. Let's not forget about Frank.

I ride with Pete pretty much every time I ride. He's fast as shit, for an old guy. Only ridden with Jerry once, he's even faster, for an even older guy. Brad normally doesn't ride hard at all. Frank hasn't seen the street in 3-4 years and doesn't hardly ride track anymore even.

I'm gonna tell Pete you said he was old.

I respect Pete and Jerry for their smoothness more than their speed. I've seen fast riders that are herky jerky, they scare the hell outta me. Watching a rider than can carve with smooth lines, that gets the panties wet.
