Gorgeous riding weather this morning, cooler than the past few days and not too humid. However, as my penance for enjoying the weather too much, I got a coughing fit (pollen?) on the MUP and then had to follow a garbage truck for about a quarter of a mile (pace -- he was too fast to pass, not fast enough to get away).
Also had a fellow cyclist run a red (solidly red by the time he entered the intersection - no doubt) in front of me. Admittedly, I had jumped the green a little, and had I waited until the light had fully changed to start, he'd have cleared the intersection well in front of me. We passed entirely without incident, but I wasn't completely happy... but willing to accept my share of the blame.
