On my ride today a big diesel truck pulled out in front of me (didn't cut me off) as I was approaching a downhill. I pulled around him and passed him going about 35 mph and then hit a steep incline up to a stop sign. He never caught me on the hill...he he he...love it!!!:D

on one of my standard routes, the highway I ride on runs alongside a railroad track. On occasion I pass a slow moving freight train. It is very satisfying. They have gotten so that they know me and will toot at me as I pass.

On the last ride I did I actually exceeded the 15mph speed limit on a little side road for about three miles. Whoot! Good times!

No, but I looked up at him and gave him a big ol' grin.

I had that happen once...tried to race a train. The engineer blew the whistle and waved at me. That was kinda kool.
