Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having a great bunch of guys around the same pace to race against regardless of grade. But, the next level of enjoyment is the whole 'championship' thing. I might ride a bit harder knowing you're behind me and the overall points are close, but if its a random B grader, and I'm tired, and my tires are going off then I'll just cruise to the finish without taking too many risks. Gives you a tad more motivation
