This was CRAZY man! I was coming home on my commuter with full panniers, when what comes up to my left but a 75 year old woman on a trike. It's dangerous to ride like this on the MUP and it's kinda crowded, so I let her go. Then, she gives me "the look." It's on. Hell hath no fury like a roadie who has been given "the look." So, I crank it up to 725 watts. I'm cranking hard on it, BAM! I break the sound barrier and decide to settle into a subsonic TT pace. I look back and she's almost on my wheel, so I crank it up again. Runners are getting blown away by the tailwind I'm generating. I pass this silly roadie racing a mountain biker. I look back and they're at a distance, so I calm it down and take a drink of water.
I hope she wasn't too tired to play bingo tomorrow.
