[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 147707, member: 20316"] Part of my problem stemmed from the fact that one of these oh-so-impatient riders did NOT take advantage of the opportunity to use an alternate line more than once. He was a “throttle on brain off” rider and was faster than me, but also more all over the place. There were 2 or 3 places where the trail split and there were lines to the right and the left, and also wide corners where he could have gone inside me. But he didn’t. He didn’t have enough skill to pass me correctly and got pissed that I didn’t pull over. So that pissed me off. I don’t have a problem with faster riders—almost everyone else is faster than me right now—but I will not sacrifice my position (such as it was) nor my stability in bad conditions to let someone around me who can’t do it right. Why didn’t he take the other line when he could? The trails were wide, I stayed to the right. He probably had target fixation or something. But he started cussing me out and I pulled off and stopped because I was afraid he’d try to ram me or something. Now THAT pissed me off. It IS all about respect. He didn’t respect my right to be there. It may or may not have anything to do with my gender—it might have looked like I just had a mud glob stuck to the back of my jersey. I doubt he noticed or cared. Riders like him scare me. [/QUOTE]
