Was on the ride home last night riding at a fair old lick when I was passed by one of the local Velo club. He overtook me when i was at about 20mph and rode off into the distance. Dent to my confidence as I felt recently been riding quite well, however .....
Tonight on same route heard the click of the wheel behind me and thought , NOT tonight you don't ..... So I dug deep and got up to 27 mph , lungs bursting and the click faded into the distance. Confidence high again looked behind me to lord it over my lycra clad assailant and found an old guy on an old mountain bike about half a mile down the road looking bewildered.
So next time look before I leap ;-)
