Today I mainly just went around and around this circular track place that cars can drive through. I think it's like 4/10th of a mile each time I loop around, it's quite longer than a regular track.
At one point though two cars at different times, raced me. How do I know they raced me? They didn't speed up until I came close, and then their engines made very loud revving noises like they stepped on the gas. You know what? I beat them both. The first guy I only won against because he had a speed bump, he was going quite fast to where I could not catch up until he hit that speed bump and then I blew pass him. The second guy I caught up to as he was finishing a speed bump, and I just hammered my pedals and sprinted away as he put his pedal to metal and really tried to beat me.
I have serious sprinting power such that I was able to beat a car who put their pedal all the way down. I also race cars at stoplights from a standstill from one side of the road to the other. I say if they really try then I lose, especially if they have a stronger car, most of the time they don't have the same race mentality I do at the stoplight, and I win beating them to the other side first.
I went pretty much all out against that second car I beat. I was very very exhausted after beating him, as we were neck and neck for a few seconds until I finally just went superspeed on the cadence and power and vrooooom I just zoomed by. He really really tried to beat me, you could hear the engines revving hard and him just trying so hard to win, but he still lost!! Of course if it were a farther distance then he would have won, we raced only a short distance, maybe 0.05 of a mile, still quite far where it takes like a minute or so to walk through, but not that far where he could speed up a lot more.
I'm not good at gauging distance. But by walking speed, it would probably take me 1 minute to walk whatever distance we raced. It's quite long on foot, but obviously since I was sprinting and the other guy went all out, we traversed this distance in a matter of seconds.
By the way I achieved my second fastest speed today while going slightly uphill against that car. I think the fastest speed of 24.5mph was on a flat road, and I was also racing some cars (in my head I was racing them, but to the cars I was just another cyclist on the road), but I didn't win, I got totally destroyed and the cars blew passed me at 40+ mph (I was mentally racing cars that haven't entered the road yet but I know were going to since cars come by here all the time).
This one, I achieved probably 24mph going slightly uphill in that sprint. That was when my hbpm went to 189, me going all out against that car and winning. I won because I broke away and he had to slow down to exit the area. There was just not enough room for him to win, I think, but he still tried. I won that race.
