I'm with you Cuse - last week during my commute home I passed a young man on the bike trail. He was just noodling along, no real hurry, not even pedalling hard. Next thing I knew here he came barrelling past me riding as hard as he could! I just started laughing! I was just trying to ride home - it wasn't a race. I'm figuring I was his "interval" trainer that day! I did feel sorry for him tho - I caught him at every cross street!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

I do sometimes get "shrinking butt syndrome," though I can control it. I've seen it happen *lots* on group rides. We're doing a nice job holding our advertised pace, and everybody's promised to be good 'cause it's supposed to be a level 1 ride... but then one person puts on a burst of speed. That sight of their hindquarters getting further away activates something (both men & women) and suddenly there's a whole group taking off.
I confess, I *do* get the urge to catch people sometimes - just because it's fun. I'll say howdy, though, especially if they catch me on those cross streets!
