Much fun today. I was taking my perfected straightest, flattest, least stops route home on my heavily loaded touring bike and a guy on a hot racing bike, wearing full kit kept catching up with me and passing. He would ignore me and shoot on by. After the third catch he said, "We keep passing each other." I just said "I'm just taking an optimized route home." He did not catch on that he was taking the main roads , hitting the lights, and going along two sides of a rectangle while I went straight and steady. At the fourth pass I said "I only have 300 feet of climb left to get home" and went on by.
