I was finishing up my ride today when I turned the corner and saw a
heavy-set 15y.o. on a white motorbike come 'round the bend about 20 yds
behind me.
I kicked it up to about 35km/hr and checked the mirror and he still hadn't
gained on me after about 200 yds. Another 100 yds and I checked the speedo
- I was doing 37km/hr and he started pulling up beside me.
I up shifted and pulled away a little and he steadily chugged up beside me
and grinned:
"Man, you're really crankin' it!'
It was very enjoyable riding side-by-side down the road on a cool 22C
evening at about 6:30pm, sun starting to cast long shadows for a while.
He pulled away and got about one car length in front of me and stayed there
for another 300 yards, me drafting off of him - he was moto-pacing me
perfectly. We came up to a hill and my turn off and I had just enough flat
runout to hit 42km/hr before breaking off.
Now -that- was cool. ;-)
