Embarrassed myself AGAIN

[s7ephanie]

New route today on the old gal (new bike being returned) anyway alls quiet on french roads, and i reach a big hill (big for me) detirmed not to get off i huffed and puffed and groaned and mouned (loudly) to the top - couple of yards after reaching top, a 'grown up' cyclist overtook me - i do hope he wasnt close behind me on the hill, what must he have thought !!!! even worse is i'm not sure i didnt fart with the effort !!!!!!!!!!

Wind is always a good propellant up hills

'Better out than in' as they say!

Besides, I bet the 'grown up cyclist' was putting in some ill afforded effort to get past you and avoid the smell anyway!

Fair tactic to rid yourself of a wheel-hugger... Unless it this chap...

 

[John-Ellis]

Nice one

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

A wee fart's perfectly acceptable, solids and liquids aren't

He can sniff my saddle all he likes, just as long he doesn't nick it, he can knock himself out (pardon the pun) if it turns him on. If I'm not actually riding at the time, why the hell would it bother me?


I doubt the story is aimed at me though (I can't see the rest of it).

Well done for getting up the hill!
The "grown up" cyclist has most probably his own hills to conquer

Fart as much as possible going up hill, gets some excess weight out of you. Don't do it on corners, especially high speed ones. If riding in a group try to wait until you are picking up the rear before unleashing hell.

Well done getting up your hill, its your ride and your effort, no one elses!

Well done on conquering another hill. The sweet smell of success will spur you on to others, no doubt!

It's always good to push yourself a bit occasionally. In the short term, your legs will hurt, but the aching will subside and you'll find the same hill gets easier. I envy you living in France, will so many lovely hills to choose from. Australia has some good hills, even mountains, but nothing like France.
