Rather chilly this morning (for July) at only 10C/50F, according to the thermometer on my house. Bit of a north-west breeze too. Made me wish I had long sleeves. Warm days are forecast for next week.

When I think of "that guy", I think of someone who's a bit of a jerk. If you had passed someone and then immediately slowed down, you'd be "that guy". Passing someone and then maintaining your speed, even if he passes you back, doesn't make you "that guy" (in my opinion). If anything,
he's "that guy". Anyways, kudos to you for beating an e-bike up a hill! I certainly can't do that anymore, not against the newer more powerful ones anyway. I had thoughts about putting a smaller chain ring on my fixed gear this morning as I was struggling up the steeper inclines.
