I was on my home turf this morning, a very familiar road.
It's a favourite with the local lycra crowd (D.F. cyclists)
who actually drive their bikes here to ride!
-I'm so lucky.
So anyway, I'm all warmed up after six miles, when a pair of
young women, fit young women, pass me going the other way.
They wave.
I wave, smiling: my turnaround is where they had just come from.
I notice that they are not pushing too hard:
-they'd just started their ride;
-they are not in the drops, but riding with their hands resting on their brake hoods,
and they are both wearing rather large Kamelback (sp?) backpack style
hydration systems.
My guess is that they were pacing themselves for a long ride.
Good!
:twisted:
I passed them both while pedaling downhill, at a pretty good clip.
The ego boost?
One of the pretty lycra-clad women called, to my rapidly receding back,
"looking good!"
Can you say, "recumbent grin?"
