The ride in was a little better this morning with clear sunshine and little headwind. This guy almost caught up to me on the way to the CanadaLine bridge along River Road. When I got to the bridge I flew up the bridge and crossed over to Vancouver.

Climbed Cambie Street to the Langara Apartments and stopped at the traffic light when the same guy caught up and said, "Good speed on the bridge" (I guess he was trying to catch me). "Good morning," I replied. Then he proceeds to run the red light and pulls away. When the light turned green I tried to catch him on the uphill but he was climbing pretty good along Cambie heading north. Langara golf course to our right. When he got to 49th, he turned right and I lost him.


I kept going north along Cambie. Well at King Ed. another cyclist pulls to the front and proceeds to run red lights as we ride on the busy part of Cambie between King Ed. and Broadway. I caught up with him on the downhill and blew past him. Cyclists who run red lights in busy traffic areas bother me... :-(
