Nice ride in, cool under sixty degrees.

Some light rain when I started out about six fifteen, this died off about a mile into my ride.

Roads were wet from the night before.

As I was about to cross park avenue I saw the light changing and decided to try to make it through. Soon I realized I wasn't going to make it. I locked my brakes and did about a three hundred degree right side skid that put me just on the corner, clear of traffic. The livery car driver in the nearest lane must have seen it all happen and said, "good job, nicely done" (no sarcasm). I laughed (mostly because I was happy not to be sprawled out on the hood of his car) and finished my ride with no further incidents.
