Must have been something in the air. I never have problems with drivers but someone tried to coal roll me yesterday.
They really need to work on their technique and be mindful of relative wind though. They started when they were probably 10 yards in front of me but there was a pretty stiff L->R crosswind so I didn't even get a whiff of it!

EDIT: Also reminds me of the time a friend and I were riding and ended up in the middle of a charity ride. Some young toughs in a pickup (why is it ALWAYS a pickup?) drove by and the passenger did the usual "Get off the road!" shout. So I gave him a very friendly wave and shouted "HI!". I could see the passenger get pissed off that I seem to have misinterpreted him...

Personally, anything, such as peeing, that forced me to get out from under my doubled up down comforter and start shivering again, was a negative. Of course, I tried to do it "natural" and only broke down and took some Tylenol 24 hours in, when the headache became unbearable.

There is a superstition that anything which interferes with the inflammatory response will reduce the "take." However, there is no evidence for this. The CDC says "talk to your doctor" about it, just in case your doctor has some half-assed opinion on it. Most doctors I know who had big time symptoms took something. Try Tylenol first.

Oh, yeah - and it is very rigid. Fantastic for out-of-saddle efforts, because there's absolutely no flex in the BB. Rides a little hard, for that reason, but now that I'm not running 125# in the 25s I have on it, it's a lot easier on the bum. Actually more cushy than the Cannondale with 25s inflated the same (90F/95R).

Fluids are always a plus. Which reminds me, I need to focus on more daily water.
