I could have done without this wakeup call.

So, I was running early this morning and rode through downtown denver and took a LRT line that runs through the east side of downtown.
Took the line to dayton. Headed south on Dayton to Orchard. Then headed west on Orchard through a decent sized intersection that leads under our main North South highway. While approaching it a double turn lane in the opposite direction decided to go even with me coming closer and closer. I slow down avoiding the last idiot while simultaneously showing my displeasure with a certain finger. Then another car decided to go in the far turn lane. So here I am riding at about 15-20 mph with the hood of a SUV looming about 20 feet away. I slammed on my brakes and flew around the backside of the SUV barely missing it.
My only thoughts were "not again!" and "no way am I going to the hospital for a second time this year".
The wife had noted that my reaction times seem to be improving in day to day activities. Guess that is a good thing. Oh and I should have listened to the voice in my head that said it would have been a good idea to avoid that intersection.

Office parks suck!

...but I am still in one piece. Time to augment that route.
