Tell us about your weekend ride

This sucks. People like this ruin cycling for me.

I came out of a side road a few hundred meters behind a guy on a road bike on sunday. Decided that his fluoro rain jacket, and hairy legs meant I was faster than him. Attacked him constantly for a couple km's, while, of course, trying to look like I was taking it easy. Never even made his bloody wheel. Then when he turned off to the right. I caught a glimpse of his face and saw that he was fecked. I gave a massive exhale to let him know I'd been pushing it too. Exchanged waves and rode on.

This is how these little encounters should go.

yes, just cant understand the attitude of some people! Did make me lol though.

For comparison, later in the ride I was hanging off the back of a rider (thin climber type) up a big hill (14% av for about a mile- biggest in the area) all the way up- just managed to keep him at around 5 bike lengths while going pretty much flat out.

Looked like he wasnt trying that hard but when we both summited neither of us could speak for about a minute! Then exchanged words and shared wheels for a couple of miles. Cant imagine how pissed of that other guy would have been if I overtook him at the top.
