Construction at every turn today. I had a cop put his hand out to stop me as I was climbing a hill, to let a truck that had just passed me, back out in front of me. I was standing on the pedals at that point, in a hard gear, and he didn't give me enough warning to down shift so I'd be able to start again once I'd stopped (and there was a truck in the shoulder ahead of him so I had no room to pull over). At the same time, a construction worker was waiving me through. The truck hadn't begun to back out, so I wasn't in danger of being hit. Anyway, I ignored the officer and kept climbing, half expecting him to follow me and give me a ticket. Luckily, that didn't happen, but it set a paranoid tone for the rest of the ride.

I did about 29 miles. I was intending a longer ride, but I had too much water before I even left. Stopped at the Wildlife Sanctuary to use the bathroom, but it was closed. Then the road I wanted to turn up to make my route longer was closed, so I just headed home. Bah. Slightly frustrating, but still a good ride.
