Hiya Sue,
Good for you - getting out and riding on both days last weekend! I rode to and from the Bike Expo but didn't venture out on Sunday (when I bag it on nasty weather days and do an exercise walk around Edmonds instead, I rationalize that it's cross-training![]()
Took a day off on Tuesday and unfortunately got run off the road by an elderly driver about 5 miles from finishing. I'm still sore all over but no serious injuries to me or my bike thankfully. The 86 yr old driver had some 'splainin' to do' to the Seattle cop who was behind him, saw him cross Lk Washington Blvd into the northbound lane...in short, saw the whole thing. I waved and yelled but saw, at the last minute, that he wasn't going to turn that damn car away from me, so I dove onto the grass and luckily my bike came with me - unscathed. At least my bike didn't need a long hot soak and "vitamin I" (ibuprofen) like I did that night!
Oh, well...it's figuring to be a sloppy weekend this time too. You planning to ride? Remind me again what you're training for? I think the STP, right? what else?
I sent you a PM here after Chilly Hilly since I was sorry to miss meeting up with you, and didn't want to bore everyone on here anymore.
Keep smiling!
Mary
