I drag raced this one kid just because I can't help myself.



But did you win?

He was pulling away on a hill but then blew a gasket. We rolled over the top together, and we chatted over the next set of rollers. He didn't know where he was going, so I gave him directions. Nice Bohemian kid -- really hairy legs and cut-offs (but with SPDs)riding something Soma-ish. No helmet (don't worry Frank, I didn't scold him). He was clearly over-powered and making a point of flying by the guys in Lycra. As I become older and even more decrepit, I'm going to have to learn to just let people ride by -- which I do nw, but usually after getting dropped.
