I forgot to mention my ride home last night. Halfway home just about through the park I catch a glimpse of a newbie trying to drop me. We both make a right hand turn and the race is on....thank god for a rear view mirror. I could practically see him breathing hard. I didn't bike all winter just to get dropped by by a newbie. Once I realized he was there and cranked it up a notch he didn't have a chance. He tried a few times but I just kept it steady with the hammer all the way down. This went on for a couple of k's; by the time I turned off togo my way and slowed down a little to catch my breath I was just glad he had to go straight because I don't know how long I could have kept it up. A little adrenaline pumping sure makes the commute more interesting and a better workout.
