Even had I stood on it I would have been hard pressed to catch him. I'm just hoping he was on an electric assist bike, he made it look too easy.
I think that might have been me! (Then my alarm clock went off...) LOL
20+ sustained on a hybrid on the flats is a bit more than I can do.
It was quite a bit warmer this AM than I expected. I even checked the weather and it still felt balmier than I thought it would. It was a good ride in, though. Judging by the radar, it looks like it could be a rather rainy ride home, we'll see. In any event, it's nice to be back on the bike and commuting again after the Turkey Day holiday. I was out of town so I hadn't even have a chance to ride since Wednesday going home from work. Gotta make some time for a weekend ride or two soon. Only miles I'm getting are commuting miles. Glad to have those, don't get me wrong, but...
