I got over the "startle factor" real quick riding with STT. They allow passing on the inside and outside in intermediate. I've ridden in the advanced group with them as well. It's not uncommon for two buddies to be running together and split around you.

Just gotta remember to hold your line. It's YOUR line, and they have to find a way around.

One of the things that scares me most is when someone knows I'm behind them, and they move over to let me by....while I'm trying to come around them. DOH!!! Just hold your line!!!
