I glanced at the traffic map before I left for home yesterday and saw a wreck on my route. I figured it would be cleared by the time I got there about 30 minutes later. Wrong. The police had the road closed and they were still doing clean-up. I slowed and the officer directing traffic away from that road said I could make it through. A little bit further up a tow truck was loading a car. I saw a minivan in the ditch, bumper up against a telephone pole, airbag deployed.

Another officer there told me I could go around the left but to watch the cat litter that was spread on the road. I saw that but was more concerned about the broken plastic from headlights and bumpers. I got off and carried my bike about 15 feet and then continued on. There were a lot of cars stopped and looked like they had been there a while. It wasn't the time or place, but there was a temptation to shout something like, "Bikes Rule!"

A nice morning today at 55F for a good 15 miles on the way in today.
