When I first started hitting the busier MUP in my town I always gave a wave or a nod to every rider that went by and I never got a wave back or a nod, at most I would get a nasty look. One day I finally started getting pissed off about how no one in my town who rode a bike would even give me the time of day. I stopped at a bar along the trail to get a beer and saw a guy in spandex and a jersey sitting by the window. I decided I would give it one last try and said "Hi" to him. Luckily that guy was actually really nice and I ended up joining his RAGBRAI team and having the time of my life. If I wouldn't of given it that last chance I never would of met all the great people I ride with now.

It still pisses me off though.
