"Hey you got shit on your back",

"Hey, you got shit on your back!", yelled a guy in a passing car.
"Really?" I replied.
"Yeah!" yells the guy as their car tries to speed off.

Little did they know I was enjoying the sarcastic commentary and wanted to continue. So I sped up to around 22mph and knocked on the guy's window. Startled he rolls it down. "Did I surprise you? You look like you just shit yourself. Hey, enjoy the car ride, I'll see you guys further down Fullerton if you can keep up with me." I say as I speed up and weave past cars and a red light to get a head start. They never caught me.

What a great ride. I didn't sleep more than 5 hours last night, but needed to do about 33 miles to finish my weekly goal. To my surprise it was above 40F today so I geared up and headed out to play in the sloppy roads of black winter slush. The first 10 miles was rough on the lake front (damn head wind), but then I got my rythm and kicked butt. Due to some construction I ended up back on the city streets. If it weren't for the construction I would have never had such a lovely conversation with the pass car above.
