I don't really have the energy to fight, argue, or try to educate these folks but maybe you do.

Seems she's unaware that her car has brakes and she's totally allowed to slow down until it's safe to pass.

Is US 89 the road she is talking about? Tiny little town with no winding mountain roads
Sad she is not smart enough to choose another route during the race or just stay home. .
Is that not what they keep telling us?

Seems as though the course is using 89 for portions, and alternate roads are suggested for motorists, for parts of the ride.

I would never get involved in a FB argument. My colleagues and my boss read that!

Two things, I didn't get into a FB argument. I invited y'all to instead of me.

The other thing, you're a madman if your boss and colleagues are your FB friends.

Yeah. From a workplace perspective, It's a bad idea. Yet I know the head of my department is FB friends with at least one employee in our department.

I re-read it four times. She actually has no problem with the racers, themselves. It is the on-coming traffic that is too impatient, and passes the racers without concern for traffic going the opposite direction..
