Subject: RE: Team Quintana Roo - Cinco de Mayo Mutisport ChallengeI finished my 40 mile ride today but it was tough. The first 24 miles were into headwinds and also had lots of climbing; I averaged less than 12mph for this. After taking a break and having a snack I was finally getting a bit of a tailwind and my mph average climbing a lot (over 16mph ). Along in here I realized I had a car just to my left pacing me; I look over and it's a cop. He has his window down and tells me that I need to be riding closer to the white line so that the cars can get by. I said "Yes sir" and he went on his way. This really irks me because this was not a very safe manoeuver for me and because I believe that he was wrong. It's my understanding that I'm entitled to take the entire lane if I so desire. I was not about to debate it with him right then  |
