I had fewer problems on TPK and GSP

than local roads and streets.

A ride that long would suck in the rain, almost any time in the winter, and any time traffic got snarled.

That being said, there's nothing like riding; it beats the hell out of driving. You'd love it!

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
