I've been commuting (er.. I mean 'training') to and from work along the same
route(s) for a while now and have become quite familiar with the same
similar faces along the way.. maybe you are one of these people!?
Route: Kew/Doncaster East/Kew - path/road/etc depending on the day
Riders I see:
Fitzroy:- Always in a Fitzroy jersey, riding a hybrid or slicked up
MTB.._always_ gives the nod. See him both directions. Limar 909 helmet like
mine..
'Bent Man:- Old dude, default beard, no flag, screams around corners like a
greyhound. He rides a bent, so it took me a while to work up to nodding...
he never nods back (maybe hard while riding in that position?), I'll never
nod him again! Seen him a few times on the return trip.
Big Boi:- Short solid dude rides a MTB all kitted up and a camel back.
Gave him a few nods, nothing in return.
Panniers Woman:- <male> not bad </male> going in the same direction,
see/pass her a few times a week.
The Gunning Vet:- Older dude on a roadie. I know where he LIVES (seen him
come out the driveway).. turns off at Box Hill north.. Likes to race. Wheel
sucker from hell, never works. Always make the effort to drop him, even on
a recovery day.
Sleeper MTBer:- Riding home, see this guy once every few weeks. Big tall
guy. Always rolling slowly until I pass him.. He'll jump on my wheel, but
he'll also do some work on the front! The first few months I just managed
to hang on to him... Now I make sure he cant hang onto me. Great training!
He turns off over the freeway around Mt Albert North(?)
FlyingDutch: Only when I take the main roads and am running late, sometimes
on the way home, again, when I take the shortest way home.
I'm sure there are a few more that I cant think of atm...
cheers,
