Was there some race on this morning that I didn't hear about. Loads of people seemed desperate to overtake me, mainly by undertaking. The best/worst being the guy who undertook me and then promptly had to stop with his foot on the kerb as he tried to undertake the ambulance in front of me and discovered that with it going through a pinch point there was no room for him between the ambulance and the pavement.
I also liked the guy who tried to overtake me on a flat stretch. I'm not fussed about being overtaken, I know I'm not that fast, so just carried on at the same pace and expected him to go past me. About ten seconds later when he appeared to have gained about 6 inches on me I glanced round and saw some bloke in an aero tuck straining away to overtake. Given I was only going about 18 mph this left me somewhat bemused.
