thought the rules said after you've been overtaken you have to ease off to avoid taking pace
They do but I didn't give a shit - I'd put time into him already and I'd probably fucked his rhythm up for the turn sitting up and looking around so much while the Garmin squealed at me. Like I said, I'd lost interest in it by then.
What's more annoying is when you're unseeded and get someone similarly paced nearby. In my case I pass people on the flat and then get passed on hills and then have to repass - over and over. I've had this in 100s and 12hrs so it's quite annoying when you're trying to evenly pace it.
hippy
@Sainsburys_Ed
saw your time, they'd just written it up as I was heading out for the rest of my training ride, but thanks for the context behind it, makes me feel a little less frustrated with the course - going to do the high Wycombe event on the 22nd May and hope for better weather/traffic - I think I got passed by three cars between Sonning and the a404.
I had someone sit on my wheel after I'd overtaken him at the turn, so checked it was clear and just rode to the right of the lane for a bit and he soon faded away without someone to draft off, thought the rules said after you've been overtaken you have to ease off to avoid taking pace...
