Race 'Yer!

[Piemaster]

'Race Yer!'
Challenged. Challenge accepted.
He relaxed, complacent. Weak.
A burst of acceleration and I'm past. 2-3 metres in front.
A plaintive cry of 'Cheater!' behind me.
Halfway down the course and he catches up, now we are racing neck and neck.
Legs and pedals pound furiously.
A glance across - we catch each others eye. He sees I am weakening.
We both know he has me.
I concede and turn into my driveway.
Shamed.


It's a bugger been beaten by a 10 year old on a BMX. Even if I was towing the trailer at the time.

Should have done a Mark Renshaw on him as he drew level, then a quick shout of "I win" as he drops back followed even more quickly by "gotta go now". You'd have kept a bit more pride that way - not much,but some.

Haha, that must of been the slowest race ever, a trailer and a bmx with a 10 year old. Oh the shame.

I once swept past a teenager on a BMX. I took him by surprise as he was listening to an MP3 player. I saw him jump as I passed him and didn't give it another thought until he caught up with me a mile or so later and dumped me on a hill before giving me a wave as he crested it and disappeared down a side road.

It was an impressive performance and he didn't seem to be trying too hard - git.

His legs will of been burning, don't worry, I've overtook roadies on a bmx before but my legs felt like they were trying to burn themselves from my body.

I got my ass kicked at Jujitsu this morning by a 7 year old.

My excuse of having ridden 15 miles fell on deaf ears.

No-one saw the chinese wrist burn though - ha ha.

Old age and cunning will overcome youth and vigour.

I failed my first 'race ya' too. It was also my first 100 miler, got to a village about halfway to be challenged by some kids but didn't even make an effort. Caught up a minute later to find them stuck at a gate; despite it being part of the NCN the farmer (or someone) had locked it.
