Rode Lookout after work the other nite, there was the usual number of riders on the road.
As I was coming back down I passed four sets of two riders. All of them were riding side by side. Not just side by side but one ride out along the double yellow! I don't care if someone wants to put themselves in harms way. BUT!!! why don't people realize that it's not the uphill rider that is in peril. It's the downhill rider that is put in a head on situation with the cars that pass cyclists riding two abreast. I've had more close calls then I care to mention.
OK I'm done.
