Almost unbelievable.
Riding in this morning I suddenly realized something really odd was happening on the MUP, and it wasn't just that I was setting a record for being early either. There were more people than usual out on the MUP, and until I got up to the last person they were all on the right side of the pathway! Even the dogs were, and they were all on leashes with an attentive owner on the other end of the leash. People even responded positively when I said good morning or thank you to them as I rode by. Hope the rest of you get to have a ride like this some time.
