Turned onto the shared path from Concord West to Rhodes (within SOP) and caught a glimpse of a rider doing the same behind me. I was intending on taking it easy along here as I havent ridden ina while but I simply could not let another rider overtake! So I sat on about 33km/h all the way to Rhodes. There were plenty of safe places to pass me along here but gladly the other person didn't!
Not quite sure where the other guy went as I entered the road and he wasn't following...
I'm claiming a CCR Defense!

Reagrdless he didnt pass me so it's a defense! (defence??)

Sounds like a sound defense, that! I had a similar experience in the same location last Monday evening. Caught up to a rider who was setting a good pace, waited for a clear section and moved past. He immediately clamped onto my wheel and stayed there all the way to Rhodes. Not sure how much draft he was getting as I ride a recumbent, but he made no effort to come around and seemed quite happy to stay there. He was riding well so I was happy enough to have him there as well. I’m coming back from a sore knee, so didn’t want to really put in an effort to pull away (CCR excuse), but we certainly maintained a good clip for the run. He turned off into Rhodes and I continued along the foreshore to the bridge, so didn’t get a chance to say hello. Added a bit of fun to the run homehannos wrote:I believe I defended a CCR today!

PS - I do realise they weren't actually racing and neither was I, but KonaCommuter would claim it, especially the 1st one. He was a KC special ...

Nice one! No motorised scalps here, but I did manage a quad. Rare to see this many bikes early in my commute.I've upped my game and claimed a motorised pushbikes scalp and I made it stick

I wondered for a while what on earth he was doing, until I saw the truck was parked over behind Northey Street. HUGE shortcut - clever bloke probably earned himself enough time for two extra schoonersKonaCommuter wrote:That's gold

And yes, got front and rear video, but no time right now to splice a highlights reel together.

Lol! Off Herston Road onto Alberleigh Rd than pass the intersection onto Fagon - looked familar part of my route to and from work. You probably got a few CCR points off me - I generally ride a flatbar with a rack and a white pannier though I can be really annoying as the gradient goes up as I don't like going slow up them Hopefully this will change when I move to a drop bar commuter bike next weekDan wrote:For Summer
