No - this was a much younger guy maybe in his late 20's to early 30's. He passed us (closer than he should have) then basically stopped in the middle of the lane about 250 yards down the road and waited for us to get to him. When we rode up to him I rode up the driver side. He then tried to swerve back and forth between Hal and Steve on 1 side and me on the other. We were in a nice tight single file pace line and also very close to the white line. Nobody else seemed to have any problem with what we were doing. As I got to the small pickup I had a feeling the driver wasn't a bicycle lover. As we get near he slowly moves towards the right side of the road and starts to swerve back and forth. He swerved because when I got to the pickup I went to the driver side. Wasn't sure if the driver was blind or rude or what was going on. When the started to swerve back and forth to hit all of us his intentions became quite clear. Pleasantries were exchanged (actually I did not call him a idiot or anything but reminded him to get a refresher course on the rules of the road). HE WAS RUDE. He made his point (his point was that he was a idiot) and we all continued on with our lovely ride. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
