I'll remind me when I go riding with you guys to stay in front of Priscilla... :-) But maybe the guy really just lost momentum and the 'view' was an added benefit. Kinda like the same thing happened to me. I was riding at my usual bike path on my MTB when a solo riding roadie chick passed me. My pace is only about 10mph (per my Ascent cyclometer) and usually when someone passes me up, that gives me motivation to give chase. For most of the time after a few hundred feet, I tired out and back off to my 10mph pace. This time I actually caught up and was rolling at her pace. I was trying to *ahem* stay in her draft. As the trail headed sort of uphill my front was about 2-3 away from her rear I finally called out to her saying that I'm not tailgating her, I just dont have the energy to pass her which was the god's honest truth. She laughed and when we reached the turnaround point she smiled at me, I nodded, she continues back down while I stopped for a breather. HA HA!
