Hardtails on the moutnain

IT's thanksgiving! It was going to be a week of early morning rides with the kiddo out of school, it's nice whn it is sooooooo quiet, then slowly some riders start showing up. Nothing crazy here, very solid spin, still not quick these days but can go for hours and no sign of tiring. I came cross my first coupld on top of Alpe, they stopped at a feature and I got past and then one of them quickly caught up and smoked me down the mountain, impressive hardtail rider for sure!
