I dropped a pace line today!
No. Really I did. I was coming off a 60 mile ride along the central coast when I turned onto El Camino Real. Four riders were turning on from the next street ahead. As I was catching up, the biggest, obviously most powerful rider, pulled to the lead. As I was passing the lead rider I heard one of the riders yell something. I couldn't hear what he said but it had to have been something like "damn, what a strong rider" Just as I was pulling away I heard him again. This time the wind picked up his voice and I heard him clear as a bell. "MaaahhhhMMMM slow down"!!!! The whinny little brat couldn't keep up with his mom.

Oh man throw in a "drope," "hamer," and "dial" it up to 400, and this thread has potential.
