The Recap.... Day Six

BORING! Heck I don't even have pictures for that day.

I got the chance to ride with the Safety Team in the tan jeep with the "Safety Team" sign on it. Kathy Ketchum was driver and Jason Burdge was co-sheriff. By Day 6 everyone knew the drill. Everyone knew the expectation, and/or consequences of riding unsafely on the highway so really there were no real safety issues (ok a handful of stupid, arrogant riders but there are always a handful).

The only major backup was the exit into RS2 in the morning. Apparently Cal Trans was late in closing the lane for us to pass and our riders were held up for an extra 45 minutes. Eventually everyone got through and on down the road, but not before a rider decided to complain loudly (think temper tantrum).

So like what? We purposely did that to annoy just you. And we really enjoy that, really because you know its all about you... (virtual slap!)

I couldn't wait to get back on my bike the following day for the ride into the V.A. Center in Brentwood.... all that riding in the car stuff was just not very exciting.
