Nice easy trail run with Riley, Matt and Jon.

Coming back on off the trail and on the road we had some idiot that brushed me with his car. Riley threw his hands in the air like what the heck.

The kid had the nerve to come back and tell us that we need to get out of the Mother Pleepin road. I started yelling at the kid and he told me to go out to the road so he could hit me because he didnt feel me the first time.

Pretty frustrating, and maybe I am blowing it out of proportion. At the same part, I am really glad he came back, basically volunteered his license plate number to us. Thinking a visit by police for wreckless driving sounds good to me.

Spenc I was surprised that I pretty much kept my cool. I didnt even swear which is a huge shocker. Kids and there entitlement these days.

Nice... bust that sucka!

Glad you are okay.

We've noticed a ton more close calls in that last few days even, too.

Crazy! Careful out there! They certainly don't watch out for you!
