It was sunny, hot, and humid with just a break between rainstorms. I decided to do (what I call) a fast 10 miles out... 10 miles back.

While cutting through a residential area I was almost hit by a guy backing out of a driveway (I hollered BIKE... and he then braked... and looked where he was going). Later the handlebar slipped from my hands... and I nearly loss control... for no reason. Once on the bike path I passed a guy with a big scary looking UN-leashed dog..... that then chased me.

I had a GREAT ride!
