Can you have Aaron write more posts or Brian or maybe Courtenay? How about Victor writing something sweet about triathlon training? I'm tired of giving your blog hits for the same post.

I can't even imagine what you, his other friends and his family are going through right now. I give you some serious credit for heading out on the road so soon after his accident. All the best, Sarah Hey Ben,

I used to count the number of 'birds' flown in a ride (or at least how many times I wanted to fly it) to define whether or not it was good or bad - I haven't had to do that since I left. It's sad that there are so many fools out there willing to take that risk. Especially in the Seattle area where bikes are so prevelant - even in Redmond, in a bike lane covered town - it's still a problem. We had team rides where folks would swerve at us, park in the bike lane as we were approaching or as you have experienced - lots of names, threats and suggestions. Since I've gotten older and have way more at risk if I get hurt, I just think the bird but still pack heat just in case. Suburban retards. BOOOOOO. Tell Court I got a new pair of Specialized glasses from someone. Don’t forget about me getting punched in the head for giving the bird to a guy having a bad day.
