Kim, Tom handled it much better then the way I would like to have. I love the fact that Tom had a nice little chat with him in the tobacco store...bet he doesn't even smoke. It cracks me up that Buzzer was skulking like a little kid down the store fronts. Seriously, I'm very glad cooler heads were there! There really is no reason for that kind of action especially when you have a clear middle lane to pass in...like all the rest of the people did. Up until that point is was a really good ride. I enjoyed getting out on the road bike again.
