I was on my way to band practice (with my pedalboard on my back no less) tonight and some dude decided to blow by me getting on the trail. He was pretty easy to catch and ended up pacing me (8 or so bike lengths back) most of the rest of the way there. I was happy to tag along. I'm not sure how happy he was with me doing so, but he seemed to give up trying to drop me after a while. I think in the daylight he could have no problem, but there's only so fast you can go on a dark trail. As it was he was good for a free pull
