Ok I have one. It was just a few months back at the San Diego Century.

My wife is a really slow rider so when we bike together I ride with her for a while then power ahead and wait - sometimes for long periods of time - for her to catch up. Then I tag along for a while and repeat the process.

Anyway, at the San Diego Century bike ride, she was having a particularly rough day but I was at my best. After (another) long wait, she rolled on by me but this time I gave some rope and let her go out ahead for a minute. After starting back up again, as I gained on her and while hammering up a slight incline I was able to dial it up another hundred watts or so.

Just as I passed her, pulling out in to open road, I took my hands off the bars, sat up and shot back "kiss my asphalt!". I was already at least 30 feet in front but heard her say "what?". I just yelled back "nothing" and went on my way.

I sure dodged a bullet on that one.
