Raging River Rabbits are good for more than eating clover. I caught up to a rider about 2/3 the way up the nine mile climb. I got within 40' of him in a tight switchback. I noticed an immediate change in his body language, and he picked up the pace. He started riding a little harder than the pace I had been riding that enabled me to catch him. That was fine by me, as I let the leash out a little and then upped my effort a hair to match his new pace. I eventually picked it up just a bit more and timed it so that I caught and passed him at the exact final end of the climb. Thanks, Mr. Rabbit, for the motivation.
