Delightful as always to share the journey with you vicariously after the fact! Isn't it fun to have that wee competitive edge kick in and see what happens next? Grin. Summer after high school I toured Europe (all wrong on way too skinny tires, but that's another story). It was wonderful to crank up hills in France in the bike lane on the right passing mopeds in the motor vehicle lane on the left. Cocky mite that I was, I waved and grinned and they looked in wide-eyed astonishment that a bike loaded with gear could go faster than they. Put-put-put-urp-put-put-put-put-urp. Were it to happen today, I'd still be a cocky mite!
Poor lad #2 deserves pity and prayers, that his self-worth in the future might not require avoiding a bonnie lass on a bonnie bike who bester him on a hill. LCG (lowest common gear) is a perfectly respectable way to get up a hill -- any hill. I do it all the time. I race trees all the time, and while I always beat them on the out, I never beat them on the back. Wonder what their secret is?
