Was that the road we were on after the chewed up highway construction in CT (right before we got to New Haven)? The road was a little damp and I was still on my neededtobereplaced front tire. Plus it was dark, we had been riding ALL day (left South Boston, VA around 7am that morning) and the local drivers seemed to be crowding us (to be polite). I remember that part of the ride quite vividly now. The uneventful miles fade from memory pretty quick but the ones where there's a bit of a pucker factor stick with ya for a bit. Definitely would have been a better road in the day and on better tires.
