From ED'S Mobile Bicycle Repair – Tip of the week….

This Tip Comes From Bob Roll.

Do not race the pros if you encounter them on a ride. Believe me, they are not impressed if you sit on their wheels and race them up hills. They are even less impressed if you sit on their wheels and hurl questions at them as you go down the road. Least impressive of all is when you speed up to get to their group and then crash your brains out in front of the same men you are desperately trying to impress (don't laugh-I've seen it happen). In fact let's all be safe and not even ride with the pros unless asked to do so. And even then, do not crash until you are back on your own.

From Randy the Webmaster message...
