Dry weather on the way in this morning but rain on the way home. Got to try out my new poncho. And also experienced my first hit and run. Riding along lit up like a Christmas tree...two red flashing lights on my backpack and another red tail light...two headlights, one in flash mode...and a reflective safety vest and wham! I get sideswiped by a minivan. The vehicle struck my left elbow and my rear view mirror. For a split second I felt the heat of its engine. It slowed down and appeared to be pulling over but then the driver had a change of heart and kept on going. I managed to get only a few numbers off the license plate. Lesson learned there....get the plate number!
