Glad it turned out okay and you weren't injured Sucks how crazy it is now days.., people texting-driving, and then there are those who get a thrill from ruining your day. Sometimes I carry riding, sometimes I don't, and the days I don't it's usually because I don't trust myself to start slinging lead.Close call this morning. Riding my bike near my house. This road has very narrow shoulder and drops off steep off the road. A car came flying by within just inches of me. The draft and surprise of a car being that close forced me off the road. I went off the shoulder and went straight over the handle bars
Other than a bruised ego and some scrapes on my hand I’m physically ok. Bike appears fine other than front tire is busted and shifter probably needs some adjustments. Thanks to lady who stopped to check on me. Screw the person that was too impatient to pass me with some room. There was no oncoming traffic and it was a straight shot. You could see several hundred yards ahead.
It’s a risk you take riding on the roads, I guess. I’ll probably stick to the greenways for the next little while to avoid traffic. Need to research some routes that don’t have so much traffic.
Come ride around Methlehem and there's a lot less traffic (aka Buffalo Cove)
Got in a little over 3 hours of Zone 2 recovery today, which started with around a 3 mile solo swim - Gramps is still in slow motion from Saturday
