Oh man! What a ride today. On a climb out of an intersection, a porta john truck paced me with his bumper just off my rear tire, and his mirror filling my helmet mounted mirror. Verry intimidating. He stayed there about 100 ft until I abandoned the narrow paved shoulder for the gravel. Nice guy.

In town, while I was passing the usual line of traffic at a stop sign, a kid opened the passenger side door of a van in the line of traffic just in front of me. My new brake pads did a fine job. First time I was almost doored from the left.

On the other hand, while on the bike path portion of my route. At a blind intersection where the path crosses a street, and I'm coming from the right of the crossing traffic, a car actually stopped at the stop sign before crossing the marked bike path. I was amazed, first time in two years I've ever seen that!

Had a great tail wind on the way home wed. Hitting nearly 24 on the flats, 30 on the descents. Whooee.
