I am not from here and I want to get away from here!
Bunch of hicks that can't drive, inconsiderate, go out of there way to run you off the road (that has no shoulder) P.S. If you are from this area and you ride you are not the hick I am speaking of obviously, you know exactly what I mean about these drivers. On top of the terrible drivers. The weather is not friendly this time of year. February is the worst. I want to get out and ride when it is nice but then you still have chance of getting killed.
Last fall, coming up a hill-almost at top, someone wanted to pass me, I put my hand out with a firm stop- which was tough going up hill as is, shoke my head "NO", I put myself into the lane a bit to discourage him--there was a car coming in the other direction that I could see but he could not. He proceeded to try going around me when suddenly he realizes that there was a car coming over on other side of road....EVERY particle of my senses were amplified in my ears, gravel under his tires as he put on his brakes to the actual force inches away from my back tire. I had this happen again a few weeks ago when it was a nice clear day, bundled up and tried to face my fears again. Same thing but not as close call as last... idots.
