We were the fools...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It all started out fine.
SheFly: We could have been on the same ride!

Started off just fine with 3 friends.

First - I almost got run over by a box truck. Honest to God, that truck was so close to me I felt the dust on the side of it. One more inch and I would have been under his wheels. (High granite curb on my right, no where for me to go!)

Second - rider in front of me stopped short with no warning. I avoided a collision, but didn't unclip in time and fell over. Fortunately, I feel in the grassy shoulder! (Tip-over #2 with my clipless pedals.)

Third - We discover one rider's rear tire going flat. Found the glass, fixed the tire, back on the road.

Four - We discover same rider's front tire getting soft.

We decided to call it quits. 15.9 total.

Just in time! It started to rain!

That's ok. Did 23 miles on Saturday, first real riding weekend of the season. I can feel the shoulder muscles kind of rippling, but nothing's really aching, so I'm a happy girl.
