nothing makes me faster than being way too far away from home and the sun is getting pretty low in the sky. The thought of being out on the road at dusk will produce personal bests almost everytime.

I know, I know, I should be sooooo proud of myself for chasing down and racing past little girls on recovery rides. But, let me let you in on my little world on a bike: To me, everyone is LA on the Alp Du Huez (or however it is spelled). I never saw a person in front of me I didn't want to pass.
