47f, bright sun, and no wind. Still wearing summer gear so I was a bit cold. Having a tough time typing this. TIme to find the fall/winter gear. Sun directly in eyes in the morning now.

The construction crew is just about finished with the Gilmer Rd bridge, and let me sneak across, Cuts out about half mile, and about keeps me off the state route, much safer.

In town, a van sped out to the right to pass between traffic and me in the parking lane. Caught me completely by surprise, and missed me by inches. I'm uysually more to the left, but there were no parked cars today. Really don't understand it. No matter how many fast starts, and quick passes you're not going to go anywhere durinig rush hour around here.
