Great hilly 35 mile ride this morning. I have lost about 12 pounds in the last month (the only good thing so far coming from an emotional heart break!) and I feel really great on the bike. I can definitely feel a difference.

So today I got chased by 2 dogs. This is nothing compared to my last several rides, which included in no particular order:

Yellowjacket sting, resulting in swollen infected leg
School bus turned left in front of me, near crash
Cleat jammed & wouldn't release, tipped over
Hit and knocked down child on the bike trail, she was ok
Lost control and hit a fence after being blasted by an air horn

I feel like I am forgetting something. Anyway, chased by dogs was mild in comparison.
