You are near the tippy-top of the pyramid, but you keep looking at the very top, and feeling bad, and you forget about the huge base of that pyramid below you, which would make you feel good.
NONE OF THE NEIGHBORS IN THE 20 CLOSEST HOUSES WOULD EVEN WALK IN THIS CHILL!
DnvrFox:
It depends were you hang out.
It seems as if all 0.0001% of the population (you are talking about) hangs out in the Detroit area park I use for training. Here I go with an average speed of 20 MPH and get passed as if I am standing still. (Depressing!)
On the other hand, when I bike in my home area, it seems as if I am the only serious biker. It is rare, perhaps once in two years, that anyone even matches my speed.
I am talking Rails to Trails.
