"challenge ACCEPTED" sounded like a good challenge.
In fairness I've done it as well, somebody who was Snailing all the way down (so was I, shared ped/cycling paths) decided to turn Cheetah on the road.
My excuse for not getting there was that I was on the Brompton but really...that's excuses.
There is one cyclist on my route who is on a cheap decathlon bike who is superduperfit just mad speed. Cheapeau and all that :)

There's a guy who commuted a similar route to me via some lanes. He always used to appear on strava on the same segments as me, but I never saw him. Then one day I caught sight of what I assumed was him waay off in the distance. I thought I'd try to catch up. Long story short, buried myself but once the final hill of the commute was over he was still about 20 yards ahead of me and after that he just took off and I never saw him for dust, which was fairly humbling.

I overtook a chap on a nice cannondale mtb a while back and he properly stuck to my wheel. I buried myself trying to drop him which I did... eventually. Got a Strava PB for that segment, though lol.
