I didn't mind really, I just said a cheery 'morning!'
The day before I lugged the bloody thing up Rossett Gill, down styhead pass, then up and down stakes pass just for fun!*
* note it was not fun, and I blame single-track magazine entirely because of their 'simply the best' article in last months mag. It was by far one of the worst rides I have ever done.
I'm actually noticing a shift of attitudes to eeb's up here in the Tweed Valley.
On days over the Golfie we're now getting questions like how many laps you on now?
as we pass groups of people for about the third time.
I think in locations with steep terrain and a big fireroad grind to the top folks are seeing the advantages and just how many more descents you can get in in a given time.
Maybe is just most people over there are focused on the descent aspect and don't get all uptight about how fast anyone is climbing.
Nowhere as bad as it used to be, we tend to hang back, have a laugh and joke about it with them. Ask them have they ridden one, even offered and been taken up on would you like to try it.
Still get the odd obnoxious one, but that's life and not alot can be done about it. Same as on here, just tend to ignore it and carry on regardless 😎
