Had a good ride tonight, blew by quite a few bikers as I left much earlier - I guess many bikers don't stay as late as I often do.

Pretty slow tonight, though that did include my stop by MEC to grab a PB 5000x at 37 mins/13.0 avg. Wind in the face across Cosburn was enough to take the edge out of my legs and make me (what seemed like) crawl along at 14-15mph. Maybe my legs were burned from giving 'er on Bloor past all the other riders hmm... It's only more training!

I usually always prefer to let cars go in front of me, that way I know they're out of my worry-zone - sometimes it's obvious that the driver acknowledges and let's you go, again I must admit most of the drivers in the core at rush hour seem to handle their crap well with bikes - at least with me, granted I've had some run-ins, but the majority seem decent.
