[QUOTE=BlazingPedals;18439663]Moments of shame are relative, I guess. This fall I was 70 miles into a century when a couple of young pups slowly drew past me. As they pulled ahead, one of them remarked,
"Good job!"
I thought, "if I was doing a good job, you'd never have caught me!" But I wasn't willing to push any harder so I just mustered up the cheeriest "thanks!" that I could manage. I need totrain harder next year! Well, that and
ride the wonderbike more
At least they were polite, and encouraging, BP, I know some young riders that take advantage of these situations to say something low, or worse. But, best of luck with this year's training, and go ahead and ride Wonderbike
, its worth it to see the look on their faces
when you cruise past on the spaceship
