Guys are funny!

That's so funny, but sadly typical - their reactions I mean.

Good for you, being a stronger rider, even with a baby on board

I look forward to one day, maybe, possibly, ok fine - not likely - but passing a guy or twenty, especially up a hill. That would be fun and I would absolutely embellish the hell out of it - like I imagine I would want to pass a guy, get to the top of the hill, ride back down just behind him, then pass him again. Now where was that bottle of superpowers I was promised?

It is very possible. Of course, there a whole bunch of good riders that I cannot even stay with. Bus usually these are very polite and understanding. They ride for many years and compete. Most of them are ven helpful. But others, well, I already said it...

Yea, guys are like that!

It's always nice when a girl can get them to eat some dust from her tires!

I know when I am on the bike path, I hate to play back and forth with someone... and I know everytime I pass a guy he WILL catch back up and pass me... it's really annoying. It's like passing the guy on the freeway doing 50 mph, who decides after you pass that he needs to do 70 mph.

Well, great job on making those boys eat some dust!

good job! way to pass all of them and get the satisfaction (and someone else was rooting for his/her mommy as well).

one question: where did you find hills in chandler?

Oh there are plenty. I ride in Awhatukee (spelling??) and there are a lot of streets that go uphill. It is called the "Foothills" area or something like that. Some of them are erally easy, and some of them are nasty.

Usually I do not have problems with men or women who are polite and greet you. But it is usually guys whose faces turn green if I pass them. Others who are cool with that just smile or even try to stay. Rarely I have issues with women. Some time ago I passed a couple, I guess a husband and a wife. I did not notice that he was trying to catch me but at the same time was hoping that his wife would be able to stick around. There is a usual stop where all riders go. He caught me there when I was racking my bike, gave me a few compliments about being fast. And then his wife showed up very upset. She barked something at him and gave me a nasty look as if did something wrong. I just thought to myself that some people are just lacking self confidence. And I am sure that her husband would be proud of her if she supported him or put an effort. Oh well.

Yes, it is really nice to ride here. It is hot now but if you start early enough everything works out. Well, if you are ever back in Phoenix, get in touch with me. We can go riding together and "smoke" some guys there on the way.
