I had a similar experience earlier this year. I rode the Davis Double for my second (and possibly last) time, on my Hillborne with full fenders and 35mm Paselas, and wore my usual touring / long day attire: Nylon zip-off pants, long-sleeve button-down sun shirt, and comfortable low-top light hiking shoes. When I finished late that night (I am NOT fast), my friend, who finished well over an hour ahead of me (on a Long Haul Trucker with a flat bar and 26x2.0" Big Apples!!!) was talking with one of the volunteers and said something like "Oh, there's my friend now." The woman he was speaking to said something along the lines of "Oh, well he obviously had time to change," to which he said something like "No, those are the clothes he rode in."
Obviously didn't compute, just as it didn't to the riders on racing bikes when my friend cruised uphill past them on his Long Haul, sitting comfortably upright. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
