LOL - well, I have no illusions about it, when compared to the truly fast.

A couple of years ago I was nearing the top of Monarch Pass in Colorado (elevation 10,000+). I was only about 50 meters from the top, and closing in on a woman rider from a racing team in Phoenix. I decided I had enough breath/energy left to contest it, so I shifted up one gear and started my "sprint". The instant she heard my gears change, she knew what was going on and put the hammer down...leaving me gasping and humbled (and laughing too - I caught up to her at the summit and congratulated her).

Just goes to show that no matter how fast you think you are, there's always somebody faster.

Fortunately, no matter how slow you think you are, there's almost always somebody slower too!

And in the end, it doesn't make that much difference as long as your crank's still turning. :D

I was just passed by a turtle, as I was going downhill!

I am so slow that DG passed me on his new bike, coasting, while going uphill

I am so slow that little old lady bikers call me Turtle!

I'm so slow that I was told, "Hey man, I've never seen someone trackstand a loaded tour bike!, Cool!?":eek: :p

I'm so slow that bicycling backwards is an improvement.

I'm so slow that if it weren't for continental drift, I wouldn't be able to draft anything.

I'm so slow I'm usually in...........LastPlace.

I started a training ride just as this thread started, and I just now got one foot clipped in.

Hold on a minute, I'm still tying my laces.

..that a century ride is not the distance but how long I take to finish...

I'm so slow, they had to create a new cycling category (Class F) that uses negative MPH numbers.

I'm so slow that I coast uphill when going downhill

What was the question?

I'm so slow that both the hare AND the tortoise can pass me.

I'm so slow that if I went any faster I'd be going backwards.

I'm so slow that I'm thinking of entering last year's MS 150.

. . . . that when I'm talking about a "1 in 7" or a "1 in 10" I'm not talking about how steep a hill is, but how many times my riding buddies can climb it in the time it takes me to get up it once.

Thanks for saying it first, SSP! I don't know what this "slow" is... does it have vitamins, or maybe help your complexion? If it's such a good thing, maybe it could be bottled so that some of us 'deficients' could buy some!

... I'm considering commuting on my hometrainer.

I get passed by kids with training wheels.

^^^:roflmao: ^^^

I'm so slow that my bike was considered "vintage" when I got back from my last ride.

Some really humorous stuff........you're a creative bunch. Wait, maybe it's the truth!

I'm so slow, that when I get close to clocks, they slow down too. When I get closer-, sometimes they stop. On bad days and if I'm really close, they've been seen running backwards.
