Chased down@25mph

Quick ride to Redmond and back, 13 miles. Started with a bang when I pulled out about 20 yards ahead of a team outfitted racing cyclist. He was intent on catching and passing me, so I cranked it up to 25mph and held that for a mile or so. He slowly caught me, sprinted past me, and then pulled off the trail. I was unwilling to race through a high traffic zone, but I doubt I could have matched his sprint. I settled into a 22-23mph pace for the rest of the way to Redmond. My water bottle fell out of the cage again which is aggravating. I need to alter the cage position or something. Darn thing nearly always shakes loose on bumpy pavement.
