Champion  10154    Alabama |  Subject: Everyone needs a hero...Casey is my hero! I was gone a lot longer than expected and she had tried to call me several times. I had my cell in my jersey but with my iPod on, I never heard it ring. She was worried so came out looking for me. She found me still about 7 miles out and we exchanged thumbs up. She turned around headed back home...or so I thought. There is a 3/4ths of a mile stretch that is out on HWY 72 (busy 4-lane with no shoulder) that is heavy with traffic this time of day. Especially right at noon as all Methodist are trying to beat the Baptists to the buffet! I dread getting out on this highway when there is a lot of traffic. But when I got there today, Casey was waiting for me! She rode right behind me with that big Yukon Denali like my guardian angel and I knew she had my back! She was not going to let anyone motor too close to me! She is my hero . . . everyone needs a hero! |

Master 1970  Somewhere on the Tennessee River | Subject: RE: Everyone needs a hero... I know that highway well. I live a bit west of you, just off of same said highway. I will only ride it on Sunday mornings, early. I don't like riding on it even in my little country town. Don't want to imagine riding it in the metropolis called Huntsville. It's a nice, mid sized city, but it is a city, non-the-less. It's nice to have backup.... ' Edited by MadMathemagician 2010-10-31 12:49 PM |

I'm surprised an advocate of "why one should NOT wear an iPod/MP3 player while running/biking" hasn't piped up. This would be a prime example. I'd doubt putting the phone on vibrate would even matter or help anyways, but, I don't know. I had to edit and add - Glad you have a guardian angel! Edited by 1stTimeTri 2010-11-01 9:18 AM |

Also, as a Methodist, I would prefer it if you got it right. We head to the liquor store after church, not the buffet! |

Well w/o an iPod I still don't hear the thing about 1/2 the time anyway. Wind noise is almost equal to my iPod volume so it's almost a wash. The phone is mostly for my benefit but I went a little longer than usual Sunday so she was a little concerned. ~Mike |
