Decided to ride my mountain bike (since it is the only one I own) down Legacy today. It was a beautiful fall day and about noon I hit the trail. I rode to Redwood Road in NSL and then returned to Farmington. I noticed my average speed for today was 17.4 Miles per hour. So I really had been pushing it the whole distance. About one mile away from the Farmington Station parking lot, this 30 something guy, on a hot road bike, with all the spandex on, came speeding past me. I could tell he thought he was pretty good bike rider as he past. So I shifted down and stayed on his trail from then on. Alot of the time I had to coast as so I didn't pass him. Going up some of the hills he had to stand up and pump. I stayed right with him making him pretty nervous, I hoped. He was looking to see if I turned off to go into the parking lot but no, I stayed right on his tail. He continued north until the end of Aaron F Richards Parkway, where he waved me on past him. I continued north until I hit the main public roadway where I turned around to return to the Equinox. I really half expected to see him, still resting where I'd passed him but he was gone. Too bad, I would have liked to have seen his face when he recognized this old man still has a little competion in me.
Today's Miles - 30.4 Miles
Total Miles - 858.5 Miles
