I was "chicked" many times over the past week on BRAG. Among the hundreds of riders that passed me, several were women. Most were very fit and riding in pacelines, but some were just riding along at a faster pace than I was at the time. On the final day as I was nursing a sore knee and a dying bottom bracket, I was passed by lots of people of many levels of fitness on all kinds of bikes.
The great thing about BRAG is that throughout the week as I averaged 14.5 to 16 mph each day, I was passed by hundreds and I passed thousands of people.
