I dialed it up and dropped a poseur................

I was out on my usual afternoon ride yesterday when I saw a guy on a green rig up ahead of me and to my surprise I was gaining on him on an uphill (that is highly unusual for me) It looked like red shorts and a white top, must be a poseur in Cofidis kit. What has a bright green colourway? I dialed things up to.... wait I don't own a power meter so I have no idea what I dialed it up to, rats, and I gained on him. As I pulled up beside him I glanced over and smiled and waved (that should have given my Fred status away immediately) and then I saw the logos and I realized why I caught and passed him........................ It was John Deere tractor moving from field to field. Hey, he did have an advantage, he didn't have an implement on the draw bar so he was under the UCI, er, UTI weight limits........................

Enough ellipses for one post, that is my story and I am using it as my big fish story for the week, a pass uphill is a pass in my limited book.
