I want to ride faster

[KSH]

I have noticed, on occasion, that some of the riders that "blow by" do seem to need a rest stop a short distance ahead. But not very many (not the ones with the reeeealy sleek behinds on the reeeealy sleek bikes).

Well, I think I resemble that comment...

My boyfriend and I did this 60 mile bike route at a rally. He would go as fast as he could... I would do the best I could to keep up.

There was this one guy on a hybrid type of bike, with regular pedals. He must have been around 60 pounds overweight, and was just casually riding along.

We would stop at the rest stop... the guy on the hybrid would cruise by enjoying the day. We would take off again on our sleek bikes... fly by him... stop at the next rest stop... and the guy would go cruising by, never stopping.

Long and steady "wins" the race.

(And no, I'm not talking about my boyfriend and I!)
