You ever drop yourself on a ride?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Have you ever ridden so fast that you leave yourself behind? Just wondering because I've done that with Brown Sugar.

I used to frequently, but that was before my bike was one pound heavier.
