Last night, as I was riding up the 8% section, a woman on the sidewalk ran past me like I was standing still.

The computer said I was going 5.9 mph at the time, so she was definitely hauling. I caught up to her at the bend, but she was turning around to go back down the hill.

Has anyone else had an experience like this, or is it just me?
