Amazing but true weekend rides!

Okay, they don't have to be as amazing as knot's laundry stories. I suspect many will be, though!
I did the lbs ride Sat. There were a few guys I hadn't met before. One was an eccentric looking guy with an amazing mustache on a steel bike, and bike and kit were all primary colors. Turn out he's a firefighter, explaining the facial hair. He was a really nice man. We rode with one of the regular women, a strong rider who has done the Southern Tier. It was a good pack of 3, and we finished really fast.
Another guy I hadn't met before, conversely in black, kind of bothered me. He kept riding no hands (a skill I think is useful, in the right place, which is not in front of me). He also kept blowing snot rockets, and the same sentiment applies. He obviously needed to be in front, and had to compete with anyone who took the lead. I know you know this guy. You're not riding unless you're racing. He finally took off with 2 other guys, and that was fine by me.
30 miles, and another 30 miles alone on Fri. Rain and rest today. What did you do?
