Being Overtaken by any thing that should be slower that you?

As a 70 yr old I'd decided to cycle from Hastings to Lancashire my home area and often chortled to myself after being passed by almost everything school kids on bikes Joggers etc. but I'd no worry's I knew I'd get there in the end.

The last cross race I did I got lapped by my DIL, she was national point champion at the time, but many years on it still hurts.

I was once passed by a jogger on Frocester Hill ....... ('nuff said).

I've also suffered the same. Jogger going uphill barely breaking a sweat while I puffed and panted away.

Unless I put an effort into it (I rarely do ) runners (the fast ones, not just joggers), pass me all the time on shared paths

For some reason 'weekend warriors' get miffed when I pass em on the Trike.

250w motor helps

Three blokes in a bath once overtook me in Yorkshire.

That's because being from that part of the world they would have been too mean to put water in it.

I sometimes get a 'Oi! that's cheating!' from weekend warriors when I pass them going uphill on my Brompton with full bag on the front. I assume they think I have a battery and motor hidden in the bag.

Put me on my road bike, however, and I'll be passed by all and sundry.

A friend of mine, on his way to a 2:45 in the Glasgow marathon was passed in the closing stages by the Pink Panther in full costume.

There was an runner in Cardiff half a couple of years ago that ran a 69:** dress as robin with his mate about a minute further back dressed as batman. They were mixing it with some of the slower elite athletes and scalped a few! What a kick in the chops that would have been for them!
