another motorcycle encounter

I'm sorry but I had to laugh! It reminded me of the time I was running and had a drunk migrant chase me! He was so drunk he could barely stand straight, but when he saw me come running past him he decided to give chase! :eek:
It was funny and scary all at the same time!
Just another reason why I'm glad I left the "wine country"... Harvest time is a scary time for us runners and bikers. One thing I found living (well growing up ) there is that at harvest time the workers are there just for the harvest. So they have nothing to do when they are not working and they are bored. Unfortunately a lot of them drink when they are bored. Not trying to say that ALL of them do this, but it seemed common.
I was almost swerved into MANY times by old trucks filled with vineyard workers- and no they didn't target me- because as they passed they were swerving all the way up the road.:eek:
My cousin still remembers the time I was on a long run training for the NYCM. I heard something behind me and it was a tractor hauling a load of grapes coming down the side of the road. I was running in the bike lane and he was NOT going to move over for me. I had to jump into the ditch to avoid being whacked! My cousin would say "only Denise...:D "... Sigh...
