Is there a name for this...

I kinda hope other people do this and it's not just me...

I sometimes go out on my bike without a destination in mind, I just spot the next cyclist up the road and have an imaginary race with them. Once they are despatched (read: I cycle past pretending not to race them) or they get away (this obviously never happens, ever) I just go on in the same direction until I spot the next target and repeat until completely lost or collapse exhausted in a sweaty mess.

Just me then? I'll get my coat.

I did the same this morning and the cyclist I was chasing had the discourtesy to turn the wrong way at a junctions so I couldn't catch him. Just plain rude.

oops i was just about to say thats what i did when i used to commute in London. It helped take my mind of the more difficult days and allowed me the illusion i was improving.

I no longer commute in our fair city. I ride purely for pleasure as i am a grown up now

It's all about scalping someone legs on fire lungs in throat body all used up but you have to look like your off down the shops for a pootle. I came back off a gruelling 25 mile hill route and got scalped on the hill home by a spotty chav fag in gob carling in the other well we can't be having that

My 'notarace' is slightly different. When the rider I'm 'chasing' has finally disappeared from view, I have to wait for someone else to overtake me......

I'm ok at the legs on fire, lungs in throat and body all used up bits, I just need to work on the rest and I'm good.
