I will be joining Big Ron at said BtWW dinner this evening.
This will be the first year I've been able to ride to it (family issues required that I drive before); I'm looking forward to it.
Ron also forgot to tell you all how beautiful his new Fuji Touring is! (I have one too
)
As for my commute, it was a little hairy this morning. I had a couple of impatient jerks do stupid things, including a new one. A driver passed me on the left as I was making a right turn--literally as I was turning. Nothing new there...but he made the right turn from a straight-thru lane, bypassing me and everyone else in the right-turn-only lane. I chased him down to his parking lot a 1/4 mile ahead, but he scrambled into the building before I could inform him that he is, indeed, an impatient idiot.
