You got that right! We ride past "The Corner" on most of our rides, since it is nearly in the center of town and we are only about 3 blocks away. During my time observing in the Physical Therapy clinic this morning I had 3 comments (all favorable) from folks who saw us on the road between 5 and 6.

Fortunately the trucker we blocked for (probably) 1/10 mile wasn't in or it might not have been so friendly. We usually ride 2 abreast wherever practical and I keep an eye and ear out for overtaking traffic. I don't know for sure how long he was behind us, but I didn't hear his engine until we were almost at the I-40 on-ramp. His passenger gave us a hearty wave as they turned - poor fella - seems he only has one finger on that hand. It would be very difficult to ride a bike that way. I hope he wasn't too envious...
