Thanks Tom for speaking up for all the cyclists in Wilson and the surrounding area. I'm almost glad I missed the ride this morning....I'm not a big guy by any means but I don't behave well when I feel like my life has been put in danger ! Glad everyone made it home safe and ready to ride another day !

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.
