loveland pass

i like my tan lines. i bought new shorts in salida that were size medium instead of large. it took awhile to get used to being so aerodynamic (read: so tight). but since i put so much suntan lotion on for fear of burning at altitude, i now have a well preserved tan line.

so this couple rides by on a tandem and ring their bell at me saying hi (i get that i think being a bike tourist), but no sooner some jackass in a white pickup (no surprise) flips a u-turn and nearly broadsides them. the guy had to yell watch out a**hole. what is it with white pickups and bikes not getting along?
