No bike commute today due to meeting after work, but I wanted to post about yesterday's ride. Coming into my workplace there is a short drive with speed limit 20 from the main road to the parking ramp. When I hit this road I usually go 20 mph so cars don't zip around me and cut me off. Yesterday, a car decided that 20 was too slow, and she started to pass me (2 lanes). I knew she would cut me off, so I hammered up to 33 mph (flat no wind) before she finally gave up and we reached the parking ramp with me in front (maybe 1/4 mile). I saw her face when she realized that she couldn't pass me without topping 40 and lets just say she was floored. I've yet to have so much fun on my bike
On the way home I took the long way to cool down after a frustrating day at work. Too bad I can't ride every day.
