A tooth ache woke me in the middle of the night and by the time I was comfortable enough to sleep again it was 7 and time to roll out for the sat am shop ride. I didn't even try, instead I just ride to work and then home, nearly hit by a redneck in a f150 on the way home.

Not worried about #'s today, but I'm lovin' my new 'puter, so much detail.

Anyway, thursday I got to do 2 25 m rides before work. First, a few of us headed out from the shop and when we got back the boss told another guy I work with that he wasn't expected yet and that should go ride, then he tells me that I can go ride with him. Off we went. Its nice to work for a shop that encourages one to ride, unlike the last shop that I worked at.

Friday we didn't get very far before my fellow employee caught some uneven pavement and took out another guy. I heard some noise behind me, as I was just ridin' along in front, and looked over my shoulder to see a CSX service truck go by and figured something shifted in it's bed. Then I heard a yell and looked back to see some of the guys standing on the side of the hwy. Well this is a no drop A ride, for flats and mechanicals not lack of strength. After both fhp and leo stops, and seeing the 2 involed off in their family evacs, the shop owner and myself turned around to get back to open up shop while the remaing couple of guys rode on.

Ever notice how there is never a leo in sight when you almost die due to a raging cager, but if you are stopped on the side of the road for some reason, that's when they'll stop? WTF?
