Alrighty, if you're lurking, what did that mean?

She must know about my hat collection ;-)
Maybe the gal with the advice just thought that, as a biker, you were out of the other gal's league. I mean ... you do have one very fast-lookin' bike! And you did call out "passing on your left" like a pro, and then pass them. So maybe advice gal figured you were just too good a biker for newbie gal there.

Oooooorrrrr ... maybe advice gal wanted newbie gal to stay back with her.

So next time, stay back and call out "Hi! How 'bout after the ride, wanna come home and see my hat collection?"
