You're guilty of hanging around with a bunch of hardcore bikers and congratulating each other about your numbers and typing it on a blog that only your other hardcore buddies read and then get out into a race with others and don't live up to your expectations.
You can claim your not trying to impress anybody with this stuff but your actions speak otherwise.
you rather he just claim he averages 27mph and be done with it like the rest of the members? The numbers he posted are from short rides, no crazy power numbers and nothing to suggest showing off. Maybe you just don't know what you're looking at and assume its showing off? His numbers are the only ones that actually provide somewhat usable data, apart from wind speed and direction you have a a general idea of how his ride was. The averages are better than I can do solo but that also doesn't mean he's showing off, it just means he's trained more than me. Maybe I should get defensive about him being faster than me too? wow...
