so far, the only rides I've done have been on the snowmobile.

Definitely a marked contrast to the beginning of 2008, that's for sure.

Cars/bikes that get stuck behind a slow truck? That's not uncommon on trucking routes.

I passed about 6 cars at once w/ a friend of mine while out riding up a long hill in NH.

Granted, some asshole cut out w/o looking to do the same thing we were doing & almost took my out my buddy.... but, ya know, other than that it wasn't an issue.

If I'm going up a hill and cant see whats on the other side...I'm not passing anyone.

Maybe your definition of a Hill and Mine are different...I dont have long uphill mountain roads here in jersey, its more like little humps in the road.
