Interesting and eventful ride home today. To start with the weather, DANG the wind was 36 mph with gusts to 47, it was wild. And bowing North and west, north is normal, but west is pretty rare, but turned out to be fun. I had to fight the winds down the hills, and across the flats, but it blew me uphill on the last stretch, Normally the downhill/flat section accounts for about a half hour of my ride and the uphill is an hour. Today it was the other way around. Kinda like riding up hill in a vacuum. Crazy

Then there were the crazy drivers/riders. On a two lane road I saw one car slow down unexpectedly and for no reason (the well intentioned moron) to let a cyclist a hundred yards ahead of me or so cross a street. Just as the rider started to pedal again, a car that was BEHIND the one that had slowed down, went to pass (cutting into the bike lane...not that anyone was in it, the other rider was crossing it) Anyway, the rider, once he saw the first car was slowing down, never looked again, went right on across and narrowly missed getting clipped. Crazy people everywhere.

Anyway, good 20 miles home, made up for the short ride this morning.
