Sounds exciting.

No drug dealing or police encounters for me. But OMG is it humid. 90%, and 70 degrees. I'll try to remember this when I'm riding in January and it's below zero.

I awoke feeling like a zombie. About 2 miles into my commute, a guy on a road bike pulled onto the MUP ahead of me and was doing 15MPH so I stayed behind him. About a mile later I spotted something red reeling us in, but resisted the urge to bolt. Nice guy on a Specialized. He slowed up and said hi. We discussed the humidity, then he took off ahead of us.

So the guy I was following tries to chase the fast roadie. I stopped at a stop sign so they gained ground on me, but we all wound up about 150 yards apart, pedalling along at 20MPH. I just had no energy at all to begin with, so now I'm a bit wrecked.
