Today I rode in to work and back for lunch and back to work and back home - a total of 8.5 miles without even trying. Excellent. I had some crazy driver of mini-van blasting the horn at me as I moved around a delivery van and into the left turn lane to make a left. Not at all a dangerous situation from my assessment but I don't think they liked a cyclist impeding their progress. Probably a potential "dead right" situation... They decided to pass me by going into the oncoming lane - an interesting solution. I gave bike commuters a bad name by giving the driver (and all occupants for that matter) the one-finger salute... I have bike rage, I know, but it is something I am going to work on. Maybe waving and saying "have a nice day" is a solution I should try.
Kev and I got together to explore a new mtb place to ride after work and the afternoon thundershowers. Riding on city/county property isn't legit in Rochester/Monroe but this place seems to be where the powers that be turn their heads the other way. It is actually a very beautiful place to ride - we saw a ton of wildlife. The trails are a bit sketchy in places but we took it easy and explored about half of the available riding. Next time we'll check out the rest. I had a bit of foresight and brought the menu for the pizza joint and called ahead so the pie was ready when we got back. Excellent.
Today was the lil' bro's birthday. Tried to get in touch with him but no such luck. We talked last night but it would still be nice to wish him a happy birthday on the actual day.
I have noticed these posts are getting pretty wordy. I think I need to start adding pictures. But not tonight.
