Road Ride Report Thank you Mr. Orange vest man (tales of commuting)

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

Yeh....my road bike is hard tail....am I behind the times on this or something??? Wouldn't suprise me.

I don't wear jerseys unless it's freezing out.... :?:

 

Yeah, you need to get with the times. Just make sure when you do you give all us a heads up so we can fight for the right to pass you over and over again.

 

The views were great!

Do you think I hung-around for 8 1/2 hours with you because I was a nice guy and had nothing better to do? Pftt!!!! I enjoyed the scenary, yes indeed. The scenary from your back (side), the scenary from your front (side) and the scenary from your side (side). Ah, twas a good day!!! :lol: :wave:

 

animals! 8)

 

Yeah, I guess I'm an animal, too...

Because I'd WAY rather ride around beautiful women than this...

 

I'd (almost) be willing to pay money to see a documentary on Orange Vest guy and his need to catch Impy just to slow down.

 

"He's HOT!"...says Burner and Endo! :lol: :lol:

 

Personally

I don't mind staying in the back. I have no problem with it at all!. As far as passing....... OK, I should just stop while I'm ahead. :beer:

 

great write up! very funny. I need to get me one of them fellas to battle with on my commute!

 

You got to love Willie Nelson. On his 75th birthday he says," I'm so old I outlived my dick".

Impy, that has happened to me to many times to count. Now I wait to see how fast they are by gradually peddeling up to them. If they take off I try to hang with them and then when I'm sure they can't hold on or go any faster, then and ONLY then do I stand up and DROP them! This part is really good for the ego too.

 

I envisioned this Impy...

can you hear the music? He passes you and the Miss Gulch theme song kicks in as you put it in high gear pedaling madly but determindly after him. :lol: How do you spell her theme song??
dun dun dun dun dun duuu dun dun dun dun dun duuu daaaaa!! OK,lame.:?:

 

I was kinda confused on my commute this morning. There was a guy on a hybrid with stuff on the racks who was keeping up with me without trying. I was riding my Salsa road bike with 48-17 gears and this guy was almost hanging with me at 22mph on what had to be a 45 lb bike. I have to admit I was actually impressed until we got to a stop light and I noticed what appeared to be a small car battery mounted to the frame and a motor mounted to the rear wheel.

He must have run low on juice because I dropped him and didn't see him again.

 

:lol::lol::lol:

Heehee I do that on dirt rides - sneak up slowly, make 'em jam, then *peeeiuuuu* i'm off. Sometimes I get caught though. I always cackle madly if that happens, half of the time that's enough to make them slow down out of fear and then I can zoom off again.

Hey funny you say that because long after orange vest man, i was passed, for awhile, by a chick holding a cowboy hat on some sort of a motorized bicycle on PV North.

It was a wierd commute day for sure.
