Roxy, DH and i once got dropped by a roller blader going up a 4 mile climb that is very popular for cyclists who are doing hill repeats. I mean, I could see him passing me, but when he passed DH, I was in awe. And this guy was at least my age.

My joke is that I get passed by women pushing baby strollers! Literally...well almost.
Awesome! :-)
It's very rare I pass anyone on my little hybrid. Most of the time people pass me. One guy passed me on a road bike and said, "Lookin' good mama!" I wasn't sure if I should take that as a compliment or an insult. I took it as encouragement. I'll take whatever I can get at this point.
I've been passed by a little old lady jogger on an incline. I have bad knees that don't do hills so I forgave myself after I got over the shame lol.
I thought of this thread today when I got passed by a guy but then I chased him and stuck to his butt for 3 miles. Finally I gave up chasing him so I could breathe. It required using one gear higher than I've ever used so I was proud of myself for keeping up as long as I did.
