Sunday ride. I overtook some guy on a roadbike and in club kit, saying 'hello' as usual. He replies 'hi'. He then re-takes me on a short hill obvs pushing a bit, so I push on and close the gap and then go past again on a long drag, to which he looks angrily at me shouting 'stay behind!'.
I say 'pardon' but there now being a bit of a gap I dont hear him say anything else. I look behind to see him make an effort and get on my wheel (actually half-wheeling me for some reason), so I start the usual pot-hole pointing while discreetly puting out as many watts(shitloads) as possible up the drag. Didnt see him again.
So now you know, dont dare re-overtake someone unless you want an ear-full.
