Traffic Dodging

After a week and a half I finnally got a ride in. I didn't think it was going to happen. Got dressed at 3:00 pm, had to change back to fix a work problem. Got home from that and the wife and kids wanted to go to supper. Much to my wifes chagrin, I choose to put an hour in on the road.

I was able to get in 15 miles which for me is not bad. I'm so new at this that I go from 25 mph to 13 pretty quick.

Since I have been riding I have confirmed what I already new, people drive like idiots. 2 miles into it a grain truck passed me and decided to release his air brakes which half expected something so it did not startle me to much. Then you have the folks who follow you slowly for a mile and then decide to pass at maybe 1 mph faster than what your going.

The kicker today was this girl who passed me with oncoming traffic a mere 30 yards from a Red Light.

All in all though it was awesome. The country around here is great to look at and you get to see things you wouldn't normally pay attention to.

Got a cycling magazine today and noticed the severe lack of anything over XL in the shirts. That along with the fact that they call my weight class Clydesdale just confirms that there is an untapped market out there for plus size clothing.
