The wife and I used to run trails often, and it was just a couple of years ago (the wife would have been around 52 at the time) were running on a trail and we passed about 4 bikers going the opposite direction. The last guy turned his head to check her out and he lost his balance and squared a tree and fell off the bike and went down a small hill


Well, was seeing your wife’s arse worth getting road rash and a concussion? Pics?

was talking about the other bikers trying to one up me.
this whole thread is so fricking cringe.


Its normal. Middle aged or older guy facing his physical decline, trying to compete with the young bucks.

Most of us just lose quietly.

Cool story. Have a downvote.

What type of bike are you riding?

That is what is even funnier about his flex. His bike is a solid beginner bike at near the bottom of the price range for true XC trail-worthy rigs. A good set of carbon wheels runs more than an entire Roscoe 7.

I mean, come on dudes. You try and race bikes with some random guy at the trail. At least be able to handle yourself and have your friends stop it.

This dude was baiting me on the MB trail. I told him to stop. He didnt, and I found out it was because he thought I was old and would be easy prey. After he didn't stop, I smoked him. I guess regrets it now.

To the OT:

Don't try and be a hard arse when you're not. There are actual hard asses that you might accidentally start a race with, and it'll end up bad for you. Look at a baws helmet before you start bucking up.

This sounds very similar to checking a potential adversary's knuckles.

Maybe they just wanted to catch up and ride with you. You know, make a new friend with common interests

Instead you looked like an a-hole and they are probably better off not knowing you

I took a trip to Kessler in Fayetteville for this ride. Camped out too. NW Arkansas has gnarly tracks, fwiw.
