Now THAT would be funny. Find out where he rides, then follow him right on his back wheel, skidding at every opportunity. As soon as he stops to let you pass, give him a big hug.jairaj wrote:Paul 8v wrote:Gotta love the internet, maybe you guys should all meet up one day and have a cuddle...

Was coming down The Wall and met up with a rather fetching young lady walking up with a huge dog shaped object.
I smiled and said hello. Didn't even ride over her.
She was cute.
And her dog was really scary.I don't do smileys.

on a serious note, is the original issue really that bad?
I've been behind some people before for them to kindly move out the way without notice when I would have been happy to just sit behind them. Communication can be a bit hard when you're hucking away on the bike.
If its not convenient for you to stop then don't and let them politely ask to get by if they want to. If there is a good spot to let them past then do it, what's the harm? unless they are stopping on the middle on the trail i don't really see any problem,0 -

This is one of those rare occasions when you are 100% correct. She was hot in a Welshy, rough and ready way. Almost sheeplike.I don't do smileys.

are you sure it wasn't a sheep with lipstick? I've been caught out by that once or twice or ...0 -
This time last year I was crawling up Glentress trying to sweat out a hangover, when XC whippet raced up to my back wheel. "On you go chief" says I giving him room, "not at all that's me spent" he says glued to my rear, before giving me a running commentary on the many shortcomings of my riding technique, together with his remedial hints and tips!
If you don't laugh you'll cry.0 -

Oh dear god NO. I do NOT want a go on Sheeps. No offence to the guy, he's very funny, a top bloke, but just... NO :shock:cooldad wrote:She was hot in a Welshy, rough and ready way. Almost sheeplike.0 -
Back to the OP...
You need to learn to become more Zen-like on the trails.
Don't allow the little annoyances to diminish the pleasure of a ride.0 -

Nah, you're probably right. No issues at all with people overtaking, it's just when they do that and stop 10 seconds later. I shall in future hold my bars from underneath with thumb and index finger touching! 0 -
Did you let them through with out them asking Ian?
Cos then it's your fault hehe 0 -

I don't want to get envolved in this downhill run cuddlefest! Leave me out of it, unless it's the hug in a mug cuppasoup thing, that'd be quite welcome on the trails 0 -
The hug in a mug thing would be awesome after a wet, cold, winter ride. That's the massive hairy ball, with huge arms, right?0

That's the one, according to the advert it frequents ski slopes though..0

are we back on sheep???????0

I'm actually going to agree with yeehaa (albeit without the name calling), for all they know, you may have been pulling over for a rest... communication on the trail is difficult. If you don't like it, then don't ride busy trail centres, i mean does it REALLY annoy you that much?0

agreed , there's plenty of british countryside to ride around in if you want peace / space away from the trail centre oiks. 0 -
Wish I had my old saracen, great when people pull over for you and they must get that sinking feeling........now i gotta watch out for them saracen riders myself damnit 0

In the spirit of the OP - I must apologise to the girl I passsed on the penultimate bit of the Marin last Sunday. You were goign pretty slowly (keep at it, spee is your friend) an I was not only on for setting a new PB but smashing my old PB by 10 mins! Hope no offence was caused!
I would also like to ask when an internbet forum is NOT like a primary school playground?! I ve never found one, its one of my ways of clinging on to youth (see elsewhere)!We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Can we get back to sheep. vI was doing the Dragon ride last year on a roadie and on the last decent one ran out in front of me causing a very interesting collision. I was hospitalised and it just walked off.
If you are going to have a go on one be ready for a rough ride.0
