Sad face.

I hope they get it back quick.

I had a nice ride today. I ran into several other people my speed, which is unusual. One guy I wanted to pass but it just didn't make sense with performance differential, road conditions and traffic control devices. I did not want to scare him so I rang my bell but hung off his back quarter a full bike length or so until passing made sense.

I then caught another guy and talked to him for the last 5 or 6 km in, we had not run into each other before considering we were on the same route. He seemed nice and maybe I will try out his club one weekend.

I also was a rebel blowing four stop signs and ran a red light. I just did not want to stop and I was hauling at 50 km/h, no worse than daily drivers I see. My average speed was was higher.
