Pretty good clip home tonight. Went down my new route for 20 miles (for locals: Zanker to 10th to Senter to Hellyer). Had a couple unusually close calls tonight.
Close call #1: A car pulled a quick right-hook in an area where I fully expect such behavior given the driving habits of the locals and given the fact that the car in question was full of boxes and such, allowing for ZERO backwards visibility. Let's just say I was waiting for it, but still rather close.
Close call #2 was closer. One idiot pickup truck driver zoomed right and almost cut me off, hurriedly taking an on-ramp to 101 North (which, obviously, I wasn't going to take). Then, right behind, idiot #2 did cut me off getting on to the same on ramp. She even looked up at me, because she was under my front wheel !! She was following the idiot pickup driver, convoy-like. This was a close one though I had an escape route mapped out (but luckily didn't need it).
