Oh yes, I thought that might be the case until he made this left hand turn onto a small park loop that links back to the main canyon road I'm on (this loop adds even more grade if you're feeling like superman). So I know what's going to happen next. I consider two options. First is to dismount and have an energy bar and check my texts for a few minutes. The second choice...my choice...was to eat my humble pie and keep riding knowing he's going to loop back onto the main road and ride over me again. That of course, is what happened. He was fast. Faster than I thought on that loop. However, he must have been bothered a bit as his helmet is now strapped to his bars as he comes by me again, this time with a grunt of a good morning - and I - like some gradeschool kid, giggle back in a high pitch voice "good morning too". WTF! Did I just say "good morning too?!". I'm twice his age and he is now in a smaller cog (yes...I looked) and I'm saying to this guy "good morning too"?!! Shame. Pathetic. And I'm sorry to all of you for not being honest in my story. Confessing my beat-down is one thing...but to be spanked twice on the same stretch is a bit embarrassing

Enjoy your riding this extended weekend everyone. Be humble out there
