To hell with the super bikers

Ten of them were racing up and down our beautiful canyon road this weekend, using the entire road and causing my riding partner and I to pull off to the side of the road.

At one point, we could hear them approaching so we pulled over. They came within two feet of us (on the opposite side of the street) as they rounded the corner at 70 mph +.

I'll admit we fantasized about throwing rocks at them, setting up a trip line or piano wire, or other traps. Our mobiles had no signal so we couldn't call the cops.

They passed us at least three times (we knew ahead of time because they had a scout riding ahead) and really disrupted our ride.

And oh yeah- a cyclist was killed on this road just two months ago by a drunk driver.
