Last night there were a couple of fast cyclists on the trail. One guy in particular riding a hybrid - he was maybe 100 yards ahead when I hopped on the trail, but it took me over a mile to catch up and pass him. I think he must have really been givin' 'er and ran out of steam, because he dropped off pretty quickly after I got by. I don't know if he knew I was chasing him or not.

Got off to a late start this morning due to an errand I had to run, so it was another ride into the sunrise. It wasn't too bad on the roads, but on a trail it got pretty bad in one spot. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I suddenly heard a "Good Morning!" on my left from a pedestrian walking towards me on the trail. Thanks to the blinding sun, I had not seen him until he said that and was about 3 feet away. Freaked me out. Bit of a chilly breeze; 4C/39F.

Edit: 5 for 5 again this week. Doesn't happen often for me (only 4th time this year?) but it's nice when it does.
