  1. Hot Chick
  2. Riding a mountain bike
  3. wearing jeans
HAHA
LOL.

Yep, I had that happen on my Carbon road bike last week. Riding around the reservoir, coming up the hill on the north side, and some 13 or 14 year old beanpole kid on a squeaky Walmart special MTB just passes me like I am standing still.

I wanted to punch myself in the face.

I could have blew past him on the straightaway, but I was too embarrassed to. My climbing is getting better every week, but at 220 lbs, there is only so much your legs can do to overcome gravity.
