You overtake and "leave standing" the idiot in the sports car that has
just passed after keeping trying to overtake in silly places.

A few weeks back, I took a Strathcarron that had earlier zoomed past
(and then ran into a traffic jam)

There really needs to be a latin sounding word for that point in you throat
when you know you won't be able to spit it out, so just take a swig of the
water bottle instead.

Good feeling, that, isn't it?

.....you're blasting down a trail off-road and you've already accepted
that at some point you will probably need new rims or a fork, its a
good reason to upgrade if you can still walk.

You're hooning along on an mtb with slicks and easily overtake
successive carbon road bikes over a 54 mile course 🙂 I refuse to
believe that just because it was a charity event they werent trying 🙂

in my wee car but simular, had a BMW, doing that while pootling though
the old villages that make up the metroplis. he found a space so zoomed
off, only to be overtaken by me at the next stop along as he was too
aggressive and tailgating to attaully move though traffic, so he had to
sit behind behind me again at the legal limit sometimes under, it's a
hard life...
