left late so had to do the streets ride in. The ride home along the river was nice.

passed a few cyclists in a row on the way home on the bike path. as I was about to pass the last one he saw me coming along and sped up and wouldn't let me pass him. We booked along at 20-22 mph for a few miles. Every time he'd slow down and I'd start to pass again he'd speed up. At one point I passed him after a traffic light where I go on the road for a stretch and he stayed on the path. I went right to the speed we were going before the light and he came powering by me again. It was kind of fun but I like when the other rider gives a little smile, wink, nod to let me know it's all in fun. This guy looked a little too serious about it.

Eventually he turned off at H' Square but I managed to keep a nice strong pace all the way home and was thankful for the warm up. 47°F! Felt like a heat wave!
