Today I was on a slight decent, pedaling in 17th gear, about thirty+ mph,
when a small voice called out,, "on your left".
I was smoked by a tiny girl on a road bike, like I was parked in the ditch!
If it had been a cartoon, I would have been in the middle of the road
spinning in circles.
I caught up to her later at the town square, they were having a dog show
and she had stopped to pet the puppies.
She is fifteen, 5'2", 80lbs and has been riding seriously for about three
years. She rides a factory custom Orbea.
Her and the bike weigh about the same as my left leg!
I don't get passed often these day, even by roadies, but this is
embarrassing.
Damn kids anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
