250 miles and I've got a question...

If you're comfortable, I say go for it. My best advise would be to just keep your cool, no matter what the situation. Anger or fear could impair your judgement and reflexes, not something you want while hurtling at 70mph on 2 wheels.
Some drivers will do things seemingly just to rile you up (usually the people in SUVs that are wasting 3-5 times as much gas as you), indifference is the best revenge, keep your focus on what's important: the road and obstacles. Gesturing, glaring, or honking 'after the fact', will only give them the upper hand.

Also, remember that there's an escape out of almost any dangerous situation if you have just one thing: anticipation. So keep your head on a swivel and ride safe.
