A bit of competition

Cycling home tonight, I was just coming off the Kessock Bridge when I began closing in on a fellow cyclist.

As we crossed at the pedestrian crossing together he moved off in front of me. 50 yards along the cycle path and I overtook him, I said "Hello" on the way past...

As I turned onto the Longman, this same cyclist overtook me. I was doing a decent pace so to me, it was clear that he was trying to make a point!!

Move forward 400 or 500 yards and I began chasing him down closing in on him at the Millburn Roundabout. I glided on past him and up the Old Perth Road. I thought that would be that.

I was wrong!

Halfway up Old Perth Road and he overtakes me, I can see he's really pushing himself to get past me. But to his credit, he kept a good pace up and arrived at the top of Old Perth Road about 10 yards in front of me!

I had a lot of fun - so, whoever you are, thank you for making my cycle home more interesting and stirring my competitive spirit into action. I feel so much better for it tonight!!
