Ha sometimes I will pedal a little harder to delay the catch but I never chase any more. On the plus side, they never catch me on the downhill! Sometimes though, the whippersnapper pass has its benefits. A couple years ago a young guy caught up tom me and slowed down to chat. He admired my Carrera and Campy bits, then asked me since he upgraded to Campy 11 speed did I want his old 10 speed parts? I said of course!, so we met later and he gave me a box full of nice parts. Included in the box was a nice Record titanium post and I said "dude I can take this", so helped him sell it over on Paceline - everybody wins!
BTW, I always enjoy your and
thinktubes ride pics. My wife is from Lake Bluff and I love those North Shore villages. If we go Downtown, I like to take Sheridan all the way rather than the freeway for the scenic views.
