But when I passed him the first time, he tucked under my arm and tried to draft me. F that,, I sat up looking at him and waved my hand, like go stupid MOFO! My thoughts, if I'm stronger and caught your ass, I don't need you to help me complete my ride so do your own ride. So he didn't even look at me, just took off like he thought he was superman. Of course as you can hear me say in the video that I'll catch him again down the road again, anyway. And yeah, 4 different times I caught and started to pass but he refused each time. OK clown! First time catching him from 1/2 mile behind. Next few times, he had pulled ahead 100 to 150 yards and faded each time ha ha ha!
Then, as you can see in the video, the final time I say something like, let's see what happens this time and yeah, I'm impressed, ha ha ha! So he pulled ahead about 50 yards then I kicked it up and when I caught up again, I went big ring and dropped his ass like a bad habit showing him what kind of a clown he really is ha ha ha!
I did see that the clown is on Strava and his ride was a bit longer than mine but my average speed is 1 and 1/2 MPH faster than his average. So yeah, he's slower and a clown ha ha ha!
Later at the coast, I was about ready to take off when Herb and Alyce rolled up. So we chatted for a while seeing I hadn't seen Herb for quite some time. Then knowing and having seen Ron and Dixie heading the opposite way, I knew they would be arriving soon so I stuck around a bit longer as we all know one another and part of the gang that used to gather at the beach stop regularly. Then R&D rolled in for more chatting.
By this time, I had been there quite a while and my legs cooled way down so I knew when we started heading back, my legs would be stiff. And sure enough, headed out and like R&D usually do, Alyce took the front and picked it up for a fast warm up pace that I'm not used to doing. So I held on the back trying to warm up feeling my legs rip up ha ha ha! But warmed up a bit after 5 miles. By this time, R&D took the front while Alyce and Herb dropped back seeing Herb couldn't hold the pace set by the tandem team. Herb does well on the trike but his injuries from his accident a few years back holds him back some. But, if it were me at the front, I would have held the pace down some so that we could all ride together as I usually did riding with Gina and the gang. But I just went with it then down the road, R&D fell a bit back. I sat up a few times but they didn't close the gap so I took off wanting to keep my average up. I should have waited but only being able to ride less than I want, I took advantage of the sitcheeation and got in my workout pushing myself in what turned out to be a good headwind. Well, I wanted a good workout and the wind made sure of that ha ha ha!
But a good day on the bike and seeing good people again. Reminds me, did run into Pastor Sammy at the start. Did a prayer as Sammy always does. I did ask him to keep it short for my video seeing most of the times, his prayers are like 5 minutes long ha ha ha! There have been times at the coast where he would ask like 10 of us to put our arms around one another like a football team huddle for a prayer. OK, most of the friends out there are of faith so no arguments there. But 5, 10 minutes later, it's hard to keep your arms around one another standing still hoping not to tip the group over ha ha ha! Good thing but either way, it can be tough holding the position that long ha ha ha!
Funny, I got a comment on this YT video saying something like, " Wow, I didn't expect this, greeting from Germany".
I replied yeah, something like I hate clowns that make it dangerous for others by not letting them pass safely knowing the other rider is stronger or faster. Used to do the same when Gina was riding with me, some clown would block her from passing and interfere making our ride less safe. Then he said something about me not being a child of Jesus.
Uhh OK, I told him that Jesus knows there are ass holes on bikes as well ha ha ha! Then I said that he must be the clown in the video. The clown did see me recording as I had the gopro in my hand so I know he saw it. I'm guessing he may have looked up any newly posted videos and saw his image on the cover and saw his clown moves pointed out.
Next thing I know, the comment was deleted ha ha ha! I'm guessing if he deleted the original comment, it also deleted the replies I added. Moral of the story, don't be a clown or somebody might catch you on camera.
