I'm glad to hear the Scofflaw finally got what was coming to him. Great story -- and I second the suggestion that you should look at putting these into print!

It's Bellevue between Manchester and Clayton Rd in Maplewood, Richmond Hts. The school is St Lukes Catholic school. The hospital is St Marys on Clayton road. Maybe 5% was an exageration. But it is definitely uphill for a ways. And there are lots of stop signs, as you know, they are EVERYWHERE in STL.

Saw the Scofflaw today. He actually passed me just before the last short steep hill. True to form, blew straight through the four way stop without missing a pedal stroke. Hey, at least he signaled though!

No drama for me. I have a severe calf muscle pull from a biathlon Sunday. I was in no shape to chase down anyone. Plus, I knew inside that I "could have" . . . if not injured. I HAVE his number.
