Almost uneventful. The weather was perfect, clear cool. I wore my work clothes (shirt/tie over dockers) with just a light jacket. 10 miles and I don't think i broke a sweat.

Back to the almost part, I was coasting down a one way street (median separating east and westbound lanes), when an SUV turned onto the street headed straight at me, going the wrong direction. I checked speed, kept rolling.. at first i maneuvered left to make sure I was seen, then back to the right.. she ducked into the correct lane through a cut in the median at just the point where I passed.

Two traffic lights on my path were holding red. I hate running red lights but I did, following three cars through one of them.


fletch, congratulations!! I like your plan.
