Half way up there is a small relief so I called " on your left" and passed. A few feet later he hauls ass by me ( saying nothing) and proceeds to ride like the wind up the hill. Did I do something wrong? Was he trying to shame me because I'm on a hybrid instead of a fancy road bike? Are roadies just this way when someone passes? I found it a little humorous actually but got to thinking I might have missed something.
