Just a quick but hilly 12 miles for me today. The weather left a little to be desired but it was nice to get out for a ride. I rode 50 miles yesterday so I was a bit low in the energy department today.

So I was on a little country road grinding up a hill at about 5 mph and a car was coming up behind me. I saw him in my mirror but I didn't notice it was a Highway Patrol car. Not sure why there would be a CHP car on this tiny little County road. Anyway, as he came up behind me, he "chirped" his siren at me and I nearly swerved off the road into a ditch! It scared the living daylights out of me. I've never heard a car make that noise before so it was very unexpected. Maybe he thought he needed to let me know he was there? Just a good reminder that you never know what a car might do as it's going by.
