Men, aren't they funny...

[smilingcat]

my ultimate dream!!

ride a beach cruiser with a fat tire and pass a "train" (group of men doing the rotation).

My favorite past time used to be playing cat and mouse. Men just have to pass but don't have enough to keep on going so I have to pass. So I used to speed up as the guy would pass. He would look back and see that I'm not too far behind. No drafting. just far enough back. He then would have to speed up. I speed up to match his speed. We continue to do this until one of us blows up. I've had it back fire on me a few times. I'm just a meany at times.

One memorable experience was a climbing up Jamboree from Santiago Canyon side in Orange County. I just blew by the boys in my big gear 52x13, I think it was, and they were struggling in the lower gears. I did it just right so just as I crested, I ran out of gas but the faces on the guys were just so worth it. too precious.

Another memorable ride was climbing up El Toro from Irvine Blvd?? in Orange county. Some bozo guy said "This is where we separate the men from the boys" FINE YOU *&^* I'm a girl and I'm gonna kick your A##@. I waited for them at the top of the hill pretending to enjoy the view. Guys were arguing something to the effect of you made us look really stupid!! yeah you were...

ahh the glory days the good ol days. I can still gloat after 20 years.

I'm a total hill slug and very jealous of all your stories! One day... One day...

Oh, Andrea, I was just thinking the very same thing! Ha!

I've been passed by a white-haired man on a flat stretch...oof. He was on a road bike, though, and I was on my mtb. And finishing my last lap. He was probably really fresh. Yeah, that's it.

:P

Oh, to be a hill climber like you ladies. Powerful. Woohoo!
