Sunday I was riding from Alexandria VA to Kingstown, using South Kings Highway. Narrow road, single lane mostly with no shoulder, moderate traffic. I had been staying well to the right on the up hill and flat sections to let cars pass. When I reached the top of a good downhill I was in a gap in the traffic. I could hear a car a ways behind me. I took the middle of the lane and peddled like mad down the hill, mostly to see how fast I could get to. I reached 43 mph near the bottom, then noticed the speed limit sign for 35 mph. As I started uphill again I pulled to the right to let the traffic by. As a big pickup passed me the passenger stuck his arm out the window.....and gave me a thumbs up.
Made my day.
