I had a little extra adventure today:
I had a car full of teenage boys come up behind me while heading West on 46, I saw an arm coming out with my rear view mirror and thought they were waving at me. So I raised my hand to wave back at them. Instead of waving, they tossed a large gulp sized and apparently full soda cup at me that hit the back of my hand and splattered soda all over me. Thank goodness I always wear sunglasses, since they were doused pretty heavy.
I've never had anyone hit me with anything before, although I have had a kid grab my arm a few years ago from a car window.
I also met another recumbent rider during todays ride:
Brian recently bought his first recumbent, a used Rans Rocket from his boss. His boss bought a new Rans and has qualified for the PBP this year, so he'll be heading to Paris. Qualifying for the ride is not easy. Here is a Wiki link detailing the PBP ride:

HeyTerry,this is Brian. It was good meeting you today. I hope the remainderofyour ride was uneventful.
I'll post a link toKen's PBP blog. I'm hoping he works out the video camera forhis ride.
Nice meeting you, it is rare to see another 'bent rider in these parts. I think you are the first for me (outside of sponsered rides) Looking forward to the PBP blog link.
