Good ride, albeit chilly. Wore full-fingered gloves and a long-sleeve t today.

Had my first encounter with a MUPper this morning. Was riding the path, on the right side like I always do, coming up to a bridge overpass. There was a woman walking toward me on the left hand side, as she should, and some moron jogging toward me in my lane (lane's figurative, they're not marked, but still, the guy was wear he shouldn't be). There was also a bicyclist approaching toward me in the distance, beyond the walking woman.

I hadn't looked over my shoulder to see if there was anyone behind me, and by the time I could it was too late, so I decided to hold my line, forcing the jogger off the path. As I rode past he raised his arms in a shrug, as if to say, "HEY! WTF?" and I simple said, "Move dude!" and kept pedaling.

Really moron? A MUP is like a mini road ... Travel on the right side, like everyone else.
