Competitive? Me?

It's amazing how having someone to chase can let you keep up a pace you'd never manage on your own. Coming back today I had not one but two good rabbits to chase -- other bikers, I mean. The first one kept me up at 33-35 klicks for six or seven minutes, until we got separated in a big crowd of slow people and I was unable to catch up again; the second one I eventually passed and managed to leave behind.

Because I made a short detour over my usual Lexington ride, technically this is a record time for the distance, by half a minute or so. It is, of course, not in my nature to concern myself with technicalities like that. Nor is it in my nature to feel smug that I blew by a couple of girls riding a noisy gas-powered scooter thing, early in the ride.
