Sooo excited, overtook another cyclist for the 1st time today.

Not sure I can exactly qualify for this SCR stuff tho. The guy looked like Yoda's older brother. How many points does one claim for that!?

Still I'm very very happy about it nonetheless!

    i had my first scalp in about 6weeks on friday, gliding past a roadie who was wheezing up box hill. i don't think the poor chap had taken on box much before and looking pretty wrecked so asked if he wanted a tow to the top.

    he held on to the back wheel until just short of the top when he fell back and i didn't see him again.

    it was nice to have company on my commute, i'm lucky to see more then 2 cyclists most days.

    iclestu, all scalps above you count, don't worry who they are just breeze past them!

    I never see many other cyclists on my commutes, so I count all as scalps no matter what their FCN!

    I've had a couple of decent nip-and-tuck tussles recently actually, but I'm the world's most cautious filterer so I tend to get dropped by everyone if the traffic gets heavier. I don't count those.
    Today is a good day to ride
