I ran across three guys last summer on a local MUP. I was on the very tail-end of a 60 mile day and was feeling ok about still cruising along at 16-18mph when a hear a humming-thrashing sound from the rear. I look in my helmet mirror and see three guys roaring down me..I (briefly) picked up the pace a couple mph..about all I had left..and it didn't matter. The 60s+ old guys blew by me at mid-20's mph and all three were on very old mountain bikes. Semi-knobby tires and all. It wasn't a sprint on their part as they kept that pace and pulled away from me for a long ways. All I could say was a somewhat awe-struck, "damn!"
