Tee shirt weather finally in the morning. Would have been the perfect ride but I had an idiot that didn't think nothing of getting next to me in the left lane while I am going 31+ Then turning right in front of me into his parking lot! Damn did I let loose on this idiot besides almost killing me. It always amazes me how their defense is that I shouldn't be riding my bicycle on the road? How is that a defense for being stupid???? Blame me for not knowing how to drive.....

Rode home with a new commuter tonight. A guy from work rode his bicycle into work this morning and he wanted some company and help in how to deal with traffic and other stuff. So I went a little bit further then usual at a slower pace to guide him on how to ride in traffic. Which is a skill and should be taught. If taught you will learn from doing rather then making mistakes....

Thursday Night

Rode to the LBS and confirmed the fact that they are moving about 68 Miles away. Tis a sad day for me now. I have been going there for about 7 years now and they are simply the best. When I tried to get fenders before I found them I was told by more then one shop "They don't make them anymore" Well I walked in their front door and to my right was fenders.

Not only that they are constantly showing me new and great stuff that I buy from them. They are a great source of lights and other fine stuff. They sold me my Generator Light and a year later showed me this awesome replacement for a rear light that runs off the generator and stays lit when you are stopped. No more of that.

Sad..........

Well took it easy again. But I ran at lunch today so I was a little tired. I hadn't run since Jan 5 because I had injured my ankle. I was able to bike but could not run. So now the ankle is better so I can run again. I also passed 100 hours of riding today for the year. time sure does add up quickly. I am also keeping up my 500+ miles per month so far. That should go up once the bike shop rides start up again if i can find the time to actually do those rides....

Interesting ride this morning. Started off great but then twice in a very short time span I was pushed around. The first was a big old 18 wheeler. Passed with good distance but since the road is only a narrow two lane road he moved over way to quick and shove me almost into the grass. Then about 2 minutes later I can hear a person on their horn but there is a line of cars so I can't see him yet but from the sound of the horn maybe five cars back. Well this idiot comes right for me with the horn blazing. So being the person that likes life I left the road to keep it. He was most likely trying to scare me but why take the chance I let him scare me. But I couldn't get his plate to report him.

Well if I can get off work early I'll extend it. It is supposed to be even nicer tomorrow! My max speed was higher then usual. My max speed was up.
