Out riding on the Malverns the other day, came down the hill to a big junction and there was another rider there. Said "hi", but he completely blanked me. So I turned off on my route downhill - not in the mood to try an nail it, so going fairly slow when I sense somebody behind me itching to get past. As soon as we get to the double track I ease back even more to encourage him past and it turns out to be the same chap - again no acknowledgment that I'm there. So I continue following him for a while (he wasn't going any faster than me if I put a little effort in) until he went sailing straight past the turnoff to the interesting bit I was taking.
What is it with mountain bikers? Never get blanked like that by somebody overtaking when out on a road bike.
