This afternoon, we had a rain storm that cooled things off, a little. North Florida is very hot and muggy these days. I had a good ride home and got good opportunity to really blend into traffic to make a left-hand turn. There are two lights closely spaced and usually when I approach them there's a good line of traffic in both lanes. Today, there was enough of a gap (and traffic was moving slowly enough) to let me move out of the bike lane cross two lanes and get into the LH turn lane.

I'm trying to build confidence moving out into traffic for lane changes. The morning's ride in was not as good in that respect. I got too close to a traffic light with too much on-coming traffic to blend in. So, I just had to stop and wait for traffic to clear. No big deal really.
