On the first uphill grade he extends his lead to about 100 yards but, as we start the downhill I quickly catch back up to 50 yards and start closing in. On the next uphill I keep pace and on the downhill I make move and start to build speed to pass and the guy turns left while I am going straight.
OP: So you were street racing. Was the other guy even aware that you were humping his leg and readying to pass him in his slipstream? Could be he had no idea you were there and he turned left because that is what folks down who want to turn left... Just a thought that the entire crash may have been your fault???
