the loop can be confusing if you haven't been there before. keep at it. you'll progress faster than you think.
Are you sure you were overtaken by the hikers? I've been known to intentionally let the hikers pass me, depending on how cute they are . Makes the view to the top more enjoyable. BTW, getting to the top of the hill is only a small part of the journey. Its what you do when you get to the top that matters :bang: *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!*
lol... it was actually a FANTASTIC view to the top once they passed. I found myself keeping up with them for quite some time enjoying "mother nature". However, I eventually had to get back on my bike and press on. I can't be known as "that creepy guy on a bike" my first day out! :?:
Oh no you di'int! I literally spit out my drink when I read that line. To JT - BtP is Bike the Planet.
