First one, we were going down a fast (and damp) downhill that ends in a 3 way stop. Guy in front of me slows down, there is a car approaching from the left (we were there FIRST) so I stupidly assumed he would keep rolling. He stopped. By the time I figured this out there was NFW I could stop (damp roads plus rim brakes), so I could either crash into him, crash off the right side of the road, or go to his left. I saw the car was slowing (as it should) and chose to stay up and go around his left. I narrowly missed him and everyone behind me also rolled through, so no harm other than a scare for me. But if something bad had happened, it would have been mea culpa.

Second incident involved a nature break a couple of us took. We are out in the country and were way out of sight, but a motorist came near enough to know what we were doing. He chewed us out. I explained we were being very discreet but he kept yelling that this was not cool. I gently said I understand but we will have to agree to disagree. He would not accept that and yelled to give him our address so he can pee on our property. I don’t believe he was the property iowner, just a pissed off guy.

As in first incident involved technically I was at fault but in both cases I hope I will be forgiven.

The ride itself today was fun and fine, a bit chilly but still 100% fun.
