My buddy called off our training ride (something about being up all night on a work project but I know he's still recovering from the Great Suffering I dished out to him on yesterday's ride), so I laid in bed for a bit and then indulged in a little velo-schadenfreude by riding up Riverside Boulevard.

Caltrans shut down a portion of I-5 that runs through downtown and all the Elk Grovians and Pocketeers are forced to find a freewayless route into downtown. Riverside parallels the freeway and it was stopped up a good 3 miles from downtown. But not the bike lane!

Suckas!
