Dear Lady on the Side of the Road in a Residential Area,

There is no need for you to laugh at me and call out mockingly, 'Having problems keeping up?' because I am lagging a good bit behind the rest of my group. It is 6:30 on a Tuesday evening and I have just worked an 8 hour day and am on the last 6 miles of my 20 mile rolling hill ride, following which I will head to the climbing gym and work out for another 3 hours. I am a new cyclist and have not yet developed the stamina to keep up with my group at all times (particularly after Tuesday icecream stops!). Please keep your nasty comments to yourself, or perhaps try and get your behind on a bike and do a fraction of what I do in a day, and then maybe you will have the right to laugh at me for getting tired.

Sincerely,

An angry and tired cyclist.
