VicanZA Posted September 3, 2014 Share Not true! A lot of guys won't move over for a chick, especially on a downhill. I mean imagine what their friends will save if a girl beat them downhill.......... I prefer riding behind the girls, views r better.

DJR Posted September 3, 2014 Share "Hi how was your race?""Good, but the bottlenecks and slow riders hurt my time..." blah blah blah... excuses That explains ten minutes off your time, and what about the other hour? Ha ha, I'll tell you a little story....... At Sani I had to move out of the way just before the finish line to let the ladies racing for podium pass. That was on day 3 after the reverse start when I started almost 2 hours before them. I've been thinking up excuses ever since, but haven't come up with anything useful, so I might as well confess. But hey, I'm fast in the single track! blondeonabike 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/142738-who-has-the-right-of-way/page/13/#findComment-2411478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I'm fast in the single track! I got a funny story too, a few weeks ago I asked a guy if I could overtake, we were climbing a hill. As I came past he replied "No problem, come past, I'll ride behind your chassis anytime!" I laughed and told him he was lucky I was tierd so I won't slap him. Ten minutes later at the watering table he pulled up, He was so embarrassed because he then realised I was not "Tanya".
