The roads were wet from overnight rain, but not problem coming in. Wonderful temps at 16 C ( 62 F). Yesterday, while cutting through the local college campus, one fellow came at me from around a corner in the wrong lane, apparently the guy in front of him was not going fast enough. That college drives me crazy, I pass through there every day and never see anyone on a bicycle. At least half the kids are within 10 miles, if not within 5. On top of that, the
college just razed another field to put in about 100 more parking spaces. This is where the ironic part comes in. The college gets state funds, but apparently hasn't read the 2030 blueprint for transportation, which all but plans to get a significant amount of people out of their cars and into some other form of transportation, bikes included. I figure the time to start is now, and colleges would appear to be low hanging fruit.
