 I didn't detect any rudeness from the local motorists, as
sometimes happens.
I did have one large American car honk, and after passing, drive with
his two outside wheels on the gravel shoulder. Luckily he was far
enough beyond me so that the dust kicked up wasn't a bother. He looked
like he was really proud of himself that he'd found something
"constructive" do do that Sunday morning. I wonder how his full load of
passengers felt about it.

The original memo was basically a complaint of aloofness and perhaps
some foul language on the part of riders:

 Hello. I live in St. Paul, Oregon.  Last Sunday, I walked the "loop", which
takes me in front of the high school and thru town.  In case you've ever
wondered why you get such a cool reception to descending upon small towns,
let me explain my experience. ...
It would be great p.r. if we could somehow "leave it better than we
found it," like Cycle Orgon donating to the towns that host it. Any
ideas?

With the town's support, we could have a great tt venue for years to
come. (Banana Belt passed through there at least one year, too.)   A
little thank you in their newspaper (do they have one?)...
