Patrick Hartigan

At the risk of boring everyone to tears, and I do apologize if I am wasting

your time, I offer a smattering of advice drawn from training around

Portland as well as a couple years on coast roads, notorious for logging

trucks and such. Wiser heads than mine will I think confirm the sum of my

observations, which is this:



                                         Always assume the worst may happen.



Never vie with a vehicle for road rights; keep your ears alive for the

telltale whine of speeding cars, or for the debris-tossing noise of a

vehicle drifting into the shoulder (once you've heard it you'll not forget

that sound!); when in doubt, pull over and stop. Follow your instincts for

survival above the impulses of ego...



...and wear a helmet.



In sum, Stay upright, which beats righteousness by a long shot.



See you out there!



P.
