and it's always my cool down period after my morning rides so it takes all of my will and a big gulp of 'swallow my pride' not to blast off an attack coming up the hill.
Not meaning to sound big headed but i've had many a rider sit on my wheel as i've passed them. It Sooooo makes me want to put the power down and drop them but i really don't wan't to fill the legs up then stop right away.
Maybe i need to extend the loop to accomodate a cooldown after i've reached the top then i can join in the fun and games!
