Was this a bit cheeky?

[PpPete]

Sunday morning blast round the New Forest. Took the old steel framed fixed, as wind not as strong as last couple of weeks. Had been pushing hard, but not manic, and was about halfway round my 25 mile loop, on the road from Beaulieu to Ipley Cross, when I get scalped by a roadie. He came up behind me very quietly so quite surprised by his greeting, but had just enough in reserve to jump on his wheel. Tailed him for a mile or so and then saw another chap up ahead, seems it was his mate stopped on side of road, because he eases off ready to pull up next to him. As I went past I called. "Thanks for the tow" - and did actually mean it in a nice way, but thought afterwards that it could be mis-interpreted. Anyway I turned off soon after and they didnt come past me again.

What do people think? Would you have taken this the "right" way ?

Well, I would have done. You blatant wheelsucker, you

Just had a look at the GPS data. Averaged 34 kph for the stretch when I was wheelsucking as against 27 kph for the whole ride.....

Joking arn't you ? 74" fixed at 95 rpm average (up to 105 rpm max) - flattered you think I might have had breath to shout anything !
