Awesome story.
I feel normal, but to others probably a superhero (or fruitcake?) during Spring Break here near the beach. Total gridlock from Thursday evening through the weekend every week for about 5 weeks. One person wrote in to the local paper that it took 3 hpurs to go just a few miles. I wrote in that I rode over to the beach (from the mainland), had lunch, and returned all within my allotted hour. That was during the same time it took the 3 hour trip.
Sooooo much better riding than driving.
