holy schmoley!
just got home from what, for me, turned into an almost full out ride home! My usual 30-35 plod turned into 23-25 minutes! I came across another commuter who passed me once and then when I passed him after a goodnatured 'Mornin' I guess he took that as a hint to pass me again?! No complaining from me! Usually everyone is going the other way...
so we hit it and man! After I'd passed him, no way was I going to let him back again! Besides, its good for me and my semi-competitive nature!
and yeah, neither of us was very fast...20-25mph for 8 miles on a road fried MTB with a full messenger bag.
Never saw him again and I wanted to cough a lung when I got home but still!
Slow fun is still fun!
