Real fun ride home. I did a little single track riding, and there was a gnarly headwind but it didn't bother me much. I noticed something was shadowing me far behind, but not getting any closer. I got to a high traffic location and slowed up, following a couple. The woman was... easy to ride behind.


The thing I saw behind me pulled up behind us. A bona fide roadie! I let him pass, and weave through some traffic, then I let things clear up and gave chase. Jeez he was fast. I caught him but he made me breathe hard. Jerk! We climbed a short hill and I hung with him. He had pretty meaty legs, but so do I. He checked his mirror, signaled a left turn, and we split up.

Sometimes I think I need a bike that doesn't weigh 35 pounds.
