Get Me Back in the Woods

Got on the bike outdoors today for the first time since the White Lake Races back in May.  After 36 miles I think I'm ready to hang the bike back up, lace up the trail shoes, and head back into the woods with Henry.  

What's up with drivers in New Hanover County?  Two of us rode single file today and were repeatedly honked at, cursed at, given the "international sign of peace", and otherwise harassed by aggressive drivers.  

Why don't people think bicycles have any right to the pavement?  

Also, it's Labor Day - a holiday.  What's the rush?  

Be kind to bicyclists, please...
