1. There's always wind. There's always another hill.

2. Hi-viz colors. Helmet on. Flashing Tail light. Flashing Head light. Noon. Clear sky. Riding the fog line. Saw the oncoming car. Acknowledged the driver behind. Waved to indicate awareness. Driver behind was sure he could make the pass before the oncoming car...and was wrong.

3. It was the spoke that broke...the camel's back.
