i had a guy (left town a few days ago) that was funny about a women being better than him, he told me outright on my 2nd or 3rd ride that he doesn't like females beating him. then a few more rides later the bike shop owner started incouraging me to do some yellow sign sprints, anyway i started beating this guy, apparently the look of his face the first time i passed him and beat him was priceless. Anyway a few weeks later someone hands me a flyer about a grand final sprint between us before he leaves town. unfortuniatly it kept raining, but he however did go one time that i didn't and said that at the sign he was a certain speed, so next time i am at that area i will make sure i'll go faster than he did. I have also beat the bike shop owner in sprints as well, but he thought that was great and now is suggesting that i get into track cycling.
