my last saturday's ride was like that, we were on a fairly long climb - it's 4-6% for about 5 miles, and well at the beginning i wasn't going that fast - needed to get moving, but this man passed me, and rode up to the rest of my group(my bf and a guy friend). my guy can climb like NO OTHER, so i knew that he wasn't going to be with my guy for long, and sure enough, the man got dropped by them, pooped out, and i go flying past him after my legs warmed up, and ooohhh you could see the steam coming out of his ears!!

as soon as we got to the flat, it turned into a balls-to-the-wall sprint fest since another male stranger caught up with us, and well we couldn't let that happen, now could we?

it was fun, but boy was i sore!!! i don't remember what we were going but it was fast....
