About less courtesy when in your kit, I think the Freds get more - maybe from fear - meaning a rider in a kit can be trusted to stay upright, and they can drive closer to you. It's not fair, every biker should get 3 feet.
Concord was where I was- I should have looked for you- I saw maybe two cyclists on the whole Concord loop. Yeah, it's always strange to get back on the road bike after a winter of commuting only. The bike feels squirrelly and so do I. And adjusting to the kind of driver attitudes that one gets out in the 'burbs/country as opposed to the city takes some getting used to. When I'm doing nothing but road riding and then come back to the city riding/commuting I have to make some mental adjustments again.
I might head out there again today. One more road ride before the snow sets in.
