enjoy your new found skills and try to not hurt anyone's ego too much as you go by

So true. Around Seattle there's the "Mercer Island loop" which is so fun... except for the bicyclists, driveways every few feet, etc. As my skill goes up I get more and more nervous about just 'having fun' on that road because I know I'll just end up going faster than I should.
