Lots of sarcasm in this thread. Ride smoothly and predictably. Keep your eyes up the road so you're ready for what's coming, but also keep the wheel in front in your vision. So as to not overlap.
And have fun.
And have fun.

'Twas 45 degree day and raining, ride canceled. Today it's snowing and going to be 30-38 degrees for the rest of the week.
Won't be some time til I get yelled at boys, sorry.
