I was just thinking about the last few rides I had right on the edge of spring/summer weather. There was this guy in front of me, I wasn't drafting him, just staying back about 10 ft and a few feet to the left or right when he ducks his head down and launches this huge rocket. I had to take evasive manuveurs to avoid it but when I got to the other side, he turns the OTHER direction and lauches another one. Did that 3 times before I decided to go all the way to the other side and pass him.

Bicycle combat? Are we speaking of certain biological weapons?
Fight back man! Arm yourself! Beer and saurkraut for breakfast! Put your six on him, lock on and fire!

I would certainly count that as a release of a binary reactive nerve agent. :D

I have the same experience climbing Mt. Hachalugie every August. I just can't understand it...

What are you going to do? Pull over and blow your nose?

I suppose you should look behind you.

Exactly, or at least stay on 1 side, he was all over the place. It's like dodging those lasers in the starwars battle scene trying to dodge all the rockets.

I believe the proper etiquette is to announce "BOOGER LEFT" before launch and "BOOGER RIGHT" before launching the other load. Of course, you may have deducted that once the left sinus was emptied, the right was to follow!

Kudos on your excellent evasive abilities.

Sung to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey":

You put your left booger in,
You put your left booger out,
Ya put your left booger in and you shake it all about. . .

Glad to hear you waited for the second salvo to make certain your course of action was correct. ;)
