Hey all,

I know we've all had some negative experiences with cars and trucks before but I wanted to share a positive from last nights ride home.

There's this real narrow road I'm ride sometimes depending which route I take home. I used to know a guy that worked for the transportation department and they have an official names for roads like this but I can't remember it. Basically, roads of this type here in Maine are old carriage trails and basically all that was done to make it a road was pave it - no widening, straightening etc - this one is pretty sketchy.

Anywhoooo, this road has a real deep descent, it's one of those hills you can bomb down in your top gear, but as soon as you hit the bottom you are pretty much going from one side of the cassette to the other and going to the small chainring.

Well, last night just as I get to the bottom, I see a truck starting to come around the corner ahead towards me. Because I was going so slow, I could also hear a car coming up pretty fast behind me. Without really, thinking about it, I kind of patted my left hand down towards the road to kind of say "be careful slow down" - you know the gesture.

Well, to my surprise I heard them come off the gas and wait for the truck ahead of us to go by. Then the car not only went in the other lane to go around me up the hill, but the passenger gave me a little wave as they went by up the hill.

There were no car racks on the car so I suppose it could have been another biker. I don't know - just wanted to share I guess.

Here's hoping you have a good ride too! Anyone else have good experieces lately?
