(Noticed my left lever needs to be tightened before racing Cat's Hill!) Anyway, the light turned green and I figured I'd blow past these folks... haha wow they were flying, I had to push over 300 watts just to pass! The tandem dude rang his bell as I passed. Ha it was pretty entertaining
tandems can scoot pretty darn quick
