What happened to Noah???Originally Posted by 7rider
Finally!
First commute since 25 January.
I thought - since I didn't have Noah to take care of in the morning, I'd be able to get out bright and early. But that didn't happen.

yeah- that was not such a good ride home...
I was at a stop light, it turned green, I proceeded through the light when a car in the close lane was coming at me at warp speed and blatantly ran the RED LIGHT! He came within about 2 feet of taking me out. I fell, the bike got bruised, and I have some road rash. I'm glad I was wearing capris instead of shorts.
I jumped back on my bike so quickly and sped away that nobody had a chance to see if I was ok. I tried riding the rest of the way home, but had a mental breakdown and called the hubby crying to come get me.
Gonna have to try again tomorrow. Hopefully someone doesn't try to kill me tomorrow.

Oh No! Stupid driver! Hope you and bike are okay. It's okay if you need to take a recovery day. Your mojo will come back. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

Awww 7Rider - I'm so sorry
You did the kindest thing - but I know that's not much comfort now

much better commute today! I didn't almost get t-boned at the same intersection, AND I got in 22 miles. Gotta love 80 degrees in February.
