I wish I could cruise around at a 40mph pace. I would sell my car right now.

You are not speaking, you are typing. So accent doesn't factor in to it. A poor grasp on an English language on the other hand does factor in.

It's a tragic day on bikeforums if the legend of R600duraace has been lost.

5-10 degrees is roughly 10-20%. That's not flat.

The OP's massive guads call that "flat enough to cruise 30mph"

I'm hoping R600 comes back. I saw Ryanf tried last week but in typical Ryan fashion he used a name not too much different than Ryanf. It took one post before he was caught.

At the risk of making a serious reply - gears and bike don't really matter much. She was just faster than you. Probably a lot faster than you. She was probably just out for a ride. You were racing.

WUT!!?? What's "them weeds"?

On serious note dude, she was just faster/stronger. Just keep riding and don't over-think it. You just got pwnd by a female, that's OK in my book.

I was on the MUP yesterday, doing about 45mph, no hands, when a chick on a comfort bike hauling a kiddie trailer whipped by me. She was spinning like a freak. So I understand your pain, bro.
