Caution! POTHOLES AHEAD
After our rough winter, the roadways are pock-marked with POTHOLES. Word to the Wise: Look for NEW potholes even on the roads you are accustomed to riding. Here’s how I learned to safety avoid them while riding alone or in a group.
Keep Calm
How many times have you wished you could take it back?
- The time you yelled at a car only to discover that you knew the driver. Blush
- That moment when you were so annoyed you made a gesture toward some good ole boys that got “too close for comfort,” only to run into them at your proposed rest stop. Yikes
- Fluffy, is at it again chasing after you like there is no tomorrow. You threaten to spray her in the face if she keeps this up. This time the owner is on the porch and overhears your intentions for her baby. Ouch
Sometimes you just want to put your head down and ride into the sunset.
Yep, the car should have not followed you so close while you were going up the hill only to pass you at the top, and the pickup should have waited to pass and the dog owner should have kept their beloved pet under control and out of harms way, but we should keep our cool too.
