I stopped along the trail to play with the GPS (I wish it would display current time while riding) and a roller-blader passed me. I got going and came up behind him but found he kept matching my speed and I had trouble passing him. I rode alongside him for about half a mile and we talked... he claimed he had made 38 MPH on his rollers during sprints. That's almost 10 MPH faster than I'VE ever gone on my BIKE, even downhill. He said he was running slow tonight because he had no headlight (he had blinkies on his ankles). After I passed him, he drafted me for a couple miles, keeping up with me easily by just following my blinky tail light.
Amazing. He works at Presbyterian and evidently keeps in good shape rollerblading...
