Check out that cadence đ That guy is making really good time, with bags on itâs slower than that.

OK, my degree of bicycle studlyness has already been demonstrated, I rode my bike to New Mexico. Enough people are impressed, I have a story to tell the kids when school opens up.
The guy up in Great Falls Montana where I am headed was the best man at my wedding, we are like family. I wasnât originally planning to ride to Lubbock, I didnât know his wife would still be here. But she is ( finishing up a six-week course).
She will be done Saturday morning, we both could be in Great Falls Sunday morning July 7th, I would have 30 days left to start over and do a 1,000 - 2,000 mile loop (depending on terrain and my ability to traverse it).based out of Great Falls,
So I gotta decide....
a) Stay the present course to be able to say âYa, I rode my bike all the way to fugginâ Yellowstone.â
Or.....
b) Help my friendâs wife on the thousand-mile drive home, be in Great Falls Sunday, start over.
My friendâs wife would much prefer I help her drive back.
Mike, we should have a roof over our heads, again by the time you return. I tell folks all the time - that we're listed in the phone book; however, even our phone is homeless! If you come this way give me a call @ 505-617-1342, and we'll meet. (Same goes for any of you) PS, I am back online, again.

Yep, bicycles are hard to see in the first place and when you DO see 'em the speed/distance of a bicycle is hard to judge from a car or truck. For this reason, even before they do anything stupid, passing bicycles in a motor vehicle is inherently stressful.
What I prob'ly would done in that instance is got off the bike at the start of the off-ramp. Walked the along the edge of the off-ramp hugging the guard rail on the right (being prepared to jump it off the road if necessary), then when I could, cross the access road perpendicular to the guard rail, get back on at the right edge of the main lanes (looks like there's a narrow but ridable shoulder).
Whole lot easier to die on a bicycle than it is on a motorcycle

I may have been driving that truck, I'd just as soon hit a bicycle rider as a gopher on the highway...
Mark! I didn't even know you was temporarily homeless, I hope all is well.
