Don't panic over the bikers - if they decide to watch, they'll be amazed at how fast a man can go on a bicycle. And if you mention the distance they're doing that day, said bikers will be completely aghast and unbelieving.
Trust me. I put up with this from my own brothers every weekend. All I got to do is mention the usual 40 mile Sunday morning when I meet them at the local watering hole Sunday afternoon, and they look at me like I came from some other planet,
We won't go in to the reaction the day they saw me in riding kit and realized that I shaved my legs . . .
