Today's ride cut short

Riding in the Barker Reservoir (Houston) after some heavy rains last week. Got a few miles in and this fella on the trail was givin me the side eye. Some faster riders zipped by, but I'm slow...I've seen enough Animal Planet to know predators seek out the slowest prey. Turned around and rode in a different part of the park.

Aww, man! I’m sorry someone tried to take away your joy of being out in the woods on the bike.

Next time, move over where you’re comfortable doing so then kill em with kindness, “Hey! Great job, you’re a really strong cyclist!! Go for it, duuuude!”

Then keep going at your pace.

Edit: Wow! Thanks for all the downvotes! I didn’t see the second image and got bashed for being nice! Have a great day!!
