I left Burlington about 90 minutes later than normal, so I was taking it easy due to all the MUP traffic that's usually nonexistent when I ride. Some young woman on a road bike caught up to me while I was waiting to clear some cyclists and peds. I let her pass me, then I rode with her. She was actually pretty quick compared with what I usually see. 17-18MPH sustained. She tried to sprint a few times but for some reason that didn't make her go faster. She kept looking behind her, I guess to see where I was.

I didn't want to seem like I was stalking her so when we got north of the busy area, I passed and upped the pace to 21-22MPH. Pushing the 45-pound Liquid kinda hard. Basically I dropped her though. Oh well.
