    Rednecks, huh? It sure is nice doing all of my night rides in nearby
    Pebble Beach.

    Our problem is distracted tourists during daylight or sunset rides.

    When you hear the pickup behind you slowing down, and then hear a rebel
    yell, or a YEEHAAA, you have watch for the next move that they make.

    Burt did not have a compound bow in Deliverance. I think you are confusing him
    with Sylvester Stallone in Rambo.

    Your best defense is to get some custom realtree camo print cycling clothes.

    You always struck me as a gambler. I'd have pegged you for bareback.

  5. Carry some pepper spray. Another suggestion is to carry a big lock with
    you. I used to carry a cable with a Abus Discus lock and it came in
    handy one time. I was waiting in the left hand turn lane and some guy
    tells me to get off the road. The guy started threatening me and I
    pulled out the lock and told him to make me.
