Got another late start this morning (~9:15). Rode to Hernando and headed north on the trail. Decided to get water and turn around at the Citrus Springs trailhead. As I was headed south I had to stop at Holder for traffic when crossing CR491. No surprise there, its always busy. Anyway after the traffic cleared I crossed the road. There were two other cyclists on the other side waiting. They were wearing white t-shirts, gym shorts, sneakers (that was a dead giveaway ) and riding hybrids. They commented as we passed in the middle of the road that, "you'd think the cars would stop for us." I said, "no, they don't have a stop sign -- we do!!" I guess when they're in their cars they expect traffic on the main road (with no stop sign) to stop so they can turn out of a side street (where there is a stop sign). I'm sure my comment went right over their heads.

Stopped by Inverness Bicycle and Fitness to get a mirror for my other helmet then headed home. On my way home (headed west along CR486) I noticed that my BC1909 was coming apart. Did the hot Florida sun do this? This is the 3rd BC1909 I've had. The other two came apart after I dropped them. This one was ok when I started my ride. Should I get another one or get a Wahoo TICKR chest strap and use it with my bike computer app on my iPhone? What to do???

Anyway I rode a total 37.5 miles.
