Yesterday had one of those 'powerful' days where I just wanted to go pretty fast. Everything was working out well until about 1 minute away from work, I over took a cyclist wearing a suit and saw another cyclist going round a 90 deg left corner (the same corner I had to take). He was on the left side, so I over took him on the right side. Mid corner, and I'm right next to him, but he decides out of the blue he wants to go right. Crash.

But I managed to stay upright, it wasn't too bad a blow, just our shoulders hit. So I wondered why he went down. I later realized as I asked if he was ok (and he was apologizing) that he had a cup of coffee in the other hand (and he was riding a race bike, I didn't think race bike riders do that kinda stuff).

Anyway, no one hurt, all was well.

Today, I had anotehr one of those 'power to work' days. So that was good also.
