LOL - Isn't that the truth! I remember getting started in MTB riding and my racing buddy invited me to a low key (off day) bike ride. After about 1/2 mile of casual spinning it was big rings and POOF - they were gone. Bicycle racing is like a poker game. Once you have enough rides/miles with a group of guys everyone figures out each other's little bluffs or when the other guys is really suffering and then it's game on.
