Nice ride home last night. It was hot and humid, but not too bad. I guess I'm getting accustomed to the 70F dew points. Had an unusual, potentially dangerous, thing happen to me: Came upon some road construction where only one lane was open and two flagmen with stop/slow signs on either end to alternate traffic through. The guy on my end had the "slow" sign up, so I rode through. As I got near the other end, that guy also had his "slow" sign up, so here I am riding 20 mph heading straight into a line of oncoming traffic. Luckily all I had to do was ride between the orange barrels and into the closed lane while the traffic passed. Had there been nowhere for me to go it could have been a bad scene though. All I could do was shake my head at flagman #2 as I rode by, though I suspect it was actually flagman #1 who screwed up.
Ride in this AM was uneventful, thought pretty sweaty.
