Sara, sounds like a nice ride. Love the pictures. The guy on the bike would have scared me too. Where do you keep your pepper spray?
I have pepper spray and have thought of taking it myself. There have been a few reports of attacks on the rails to trails that are scary.
I didn't ride today. Yesterday I pushed myself harder and further than ever. My body was complaining and my thighs were sore. It was so hot today, 101.
I rode around the neighborhood a little and then used my Aqua Jogger in the pool!
