I got the encouraging words from a fellow mountain bike rider on the weekend "You need to learn how to ride single track mate"
Yes, it was in a race, I am the first to admit I am not the best rider of steep, downhill, technical single track and after crashing, I did my best to get out of his way. I have been riding & racing mountain bikes for about 3 years now and this is the first time I have ever had discouraging words from a fellow rider. I was pretty disappointed actually.
If only we were all awesome single track riders like this kind fellow. At the next climb I managed to catch up this guy and let him know what a champion rider he is. By the end of the race I managed to beat him by a long margin, which was a nice feeling.
Anyone else had encounters like this?
