A great day to RIDE, except!

Jo and I put on a nice ride from our home to Manitou Springs, walked around the funky little town, ate a nice thin crust pizza and put in a good 30 miles on a NICE and SUNNY day!! It was really great till we were coming up the hill on Tejon St., south of downtown. First we got passed by a nice lady on a sweet road bike, she let us know she was coming up on our left and even gave us a thumbs up :) We caught her at the traffic light, we did a slight jog right to let her have room to get by us, cause she's a lot faster, then some "JERK" came hauling up, passed Jo and I on the "RIGHT" side without warning!!! It was just LUCK that Jo pulled back left just as he passed, otherwise he'd have ran into the back of her!!

I tried to catch him but he was a young punk on a racer style bike so no way, rats!  You know we as cyclist's have to put up with abuse and stupid moves from the "brain dead cagers" in cars, it's a damn shame when you get the same thing from a fellow bicycle rider!!! !@#$%^&*()_+|

Be carefull out there folks!

B.J. and Jo :)
