Another nice morning ride. Looked like it might rain, but it didn't.

I shadowed a woman on an MTB all the way in. Saw several other cyclists heading the other way. Eventually a group of 6 or 7 MTBers popped out onto the MUP and formed a group ahead of us and started to ride. One of them looked behind, saw the woman and me, yelled something, and they all took off like Lance wannabes. I had to fight with myself not to give chase. I was so relaxed that it seemed foolish. I figured they'd blow up soon enough, and then I'd be stuck behind them anyway, so I remained behind the woman.

A quarter mile later we rounded a bend and there they all were, going slowly again. Eventually they took off onto dirt trails anyway, so I'm glad I saved my energy for beer drinking later.
