You just ride at your own pace, sometimes that might mean a bit of yo-yo’ing. You don’t know anything about him and visa versa. Though often if the ride is long you might end up working/riding together.
Yeah I prefer MTB too- cracked my ribs at Afan the other day so just out for a 100k spin”
Which is a lie because one simply doesn’t mention the distance they’re doing. Always always always let the other man think you’re a weed, and that they’re great.
Agree with every word of this.
Today I went for a road ride ( first for a while ) and had a pint. When riding the short distance home there was someone in front going very slowly indeed, As I passed him, I said hello, I also noticed he was singlespeeding, we had a very quick chat and he said ” it’s fixed” then he proceeded to really put the hammer down and left me for dead, I have no illusions as to how fast I am and he looked way fitter than me. It did get me wondering if his change of speed part was a planned training exercise, or he just did not like being passed ? It was one of the odder experiences I have had meeting a solo rider.
