A minute or so of racing and he was off blasting through the stop sign at the north entrance of washington park. egads!
I actually started laughing watching how hard he was working it. Yes, I'm an ass.
To his credit, he completely dusted me. At the end I was almost to the point of completely loosing it due to exhaustion.
30+mph on a mountain bike! yikes
I was beat nice and good.
I wonder what would have happened if we had meet up at the beginning of my weekly 200 miles not in the middle. hummmm.........
Man I hope that wasnt me. I sometimes read these stories thinking about how I've done that.... And here you are a local... I sometimes feel like an ass when reading some peoples comments about them but it seems like the consensus is that its just good fun for everyone in the end.
