On the way home this evening there I was cruising along at an easy 19mph when what do I see myself
catching up to? Why a Wedgie in lycra doing a Quasi Modo over the bars, and pedalling his little
heart out, I continued along and was soon behind him, he looked back and sneered at me in my baggy
shorts as we both turned off the main road onto a slight down slope, at this point I decided to
free wheel, he did his best to pedal away, kept looking behind to see me coasting along easily, we
hit 30mph and I got bored with him so pedalled up to 45mph and passed him, he tried to accelerate
briefly before he realised the laws of physics were against him and he dwindled into the distance
behind me, we were cycling into a slight headwind, such joy.

And then you woke up I presume. :-) 72 kph or 45 mph sounds a bit unlikely even to me. Especially if
it was flat terrain and with a headwind.

Ooops "slight downhill" :-) Good for you. My wussyclutch usually deactivates my legs around
60 kph. ;o)

What happens out in the real world is that top level road riders like me get upset with you benters
and rollerbladers.

You guys must learn to pull all the way over to the right hand side of the road and ride the gutter
when we come up and pass you.

Benters and those damn rollerbladers are terrible road hogs, you never see those things out on the
real cycling roads like north of Milan in the Bellagio, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio area.

Recap:

Keep those damn things in the park or your local subdivision cul de cac(sp?), I'm out there doing a
planned training session, I don't need you guys getting in my way.

When I yelled ' ON YOUR LEFT ', then get over to the right!

Time to recalibrate the bike computer 45 MPH is rather fast on the road.

Mikael,

You really need to learn to read English, we were on a slight downhill, I was coasting at 30mph! I
do not find a problem with reaching more than 30mph on the flat in calm conditions.

Oops sorry Mikael, I answered before I read this one.

And Lance very recently pointed out exactly where wedgies belong..

According to my bike computer I had my Vision R-50 up to 45mph during the Seattle to Portland
ride.(It was a downhill portion of the road). My GPS unit showed a maximum speed of 46.2 for that
portion of the trip.

Perhaps a trifle fast for comfort but the conditions were right and it felt so good to pass by a
number of df's on that hill.

Fab passing me? :LOL Like that'll happen anytime soon. When I pass guys like you, I ding my
handlebar bell. Why does that drive you so crazy? Is it the pass itself, or the fact that my bell
weighs more than all the weight you've saved with that Ti bolt set?

If you read my post you will see that I said cyclists always pass you guys.

Please move over and stay out of our way.

Yeah, those sag wagons move pretty fast, and they gotta be pretty big to load up all the guys who
dress in bread wrappers with pointy little mousey hats and ride ass-hatchets.

Here's a little fact for you, John.

Last evening I was out doing some testing on a local climb, and after downloading the data and
analyzing the results I figure that on last Sunday's stage 14 in the tour I would have been with the
lead group at the summit of the Col de Peyresourde!

And I know from experience that I can desend in the Pyrenees much better that either Gilberto Simoni
or Laurent Dufaux.

Looks like I would have won at least one stage in this year's TdF!

Now what do you think?

You are welcome to /try/ to overtake on the left, Fabrizio old son, but I fancy the drains, grit and
broken glass to be found in the gutter will rapidly put paid to your ultra-lightweight tyres. Even
Fat Boy Ullrich is doing 0 mph when he's stopped with a puncture.

I think you're a delusional paranoid schizophrenic. Still, a little light comedic relief never
hurt anyone.

But, I've not once heard one of your type yell "on your left".

The original poster was from the states so I used the 'on your left' remark for him, as well I'm
over there myself at this time.
