Our most recent "good truck experience" was with a Gulick Trucking Company Semi on Highway 58 crossing over the Oregon Cascades on the second day of a long tour. There is a tunnel a few miles from the summit that is a challenge for east bound cyclists pedaling uphill. We were in the tunnel when the truck came up behind us, and instead of trying to pass us he slowed down to our speed, 6 mph, and escorted us the rest of the way through the tunnel. On exiting the tunnel he pulled around us, gave us a couple of encouraging toots on the horn and a thumbs up as he tried to regain some of the momentum he lost as he covered our back side through the tunnel. Now, if only the RV drivers would be so good!
