Maybe he:
Just had knee surgery
was dehydrated
Back in the saddle after a break
was riding a flat tubular
was waiting for someone
was enjoying being out side
was limping home after a mechanical failure
was on his way to breaking the 100lb weight loss mark
was avoiding his inlaws

Last year when out riding with a friend in the Pennines (hilly area of the uk) I was completely destroyed by a guy on an orange 5 mountain bike up a 5% 3 mile climb.
I ride a BMC slr01 by the way, love it and am glad i can afford to ride such a nice bike so slowly :-)
Well done on winning by the way, I'll bet the grand kids are / will be proud

Unless he was racing, there's no way he could match your speed! And don't forget to give him "the look" next time.

We used to have these threads a lot in the old days.
Good times.

Tell the truth: you were in full kit yourself, with an aero helmet and had deep aero wheels on your hybrid. or a disc wheel. With aero bars. And "click" pedals.

Actually, I'm surprised the op didn't claim to be towing a Tag-Along at the time.
