Drove in yesterday due to rain in the morning and high winds all day. Got some errands done after work while I had the car though. Back on the bike this morning. Cooler than it has been, low 40s and a slight breeze. Had a pretty fast ride in and had a few women drivers almost hit me. The first incident was after I had slowed down for a school bus and was starting to go after the red lights turned off. Just after the bus is a short downhill (25-30 yards) to a stop sign at a T in the road. Well the woman in the SUV decides that she just has to beat me to the stop sign. So I ended up going around her and after she took off from the stop sign she had the pedal to the metal and gave me a nasty look as she went by. Funny thing was I caught up to her half a mile later at a red light The 2nd time was when I was going to turn left close to work and a woman in another SUV almost pulled out in front of me. She ended up stopping in the middle of the other lane to let me go by. Gonna be a nice headwind for the way home which seems to be the norm lately.
