so I decided to ride while the Superbowl was on... figured less cars on the road as everyone would be glued to the tube...

went down thru an area that is a paved nature trail... a few people walking and lots of cyclists pass thru regularly... hardly anyone out... it was great... come around a corner and there's "dad"... a man with a double wide stroller with twins... and 1 of the other 2 kids with him just fell in the bushes... I have now slowed way down as I approach... and as I say "Passing right" (cause he's all the way left) he makes a hard turn right... and almost clipped me... my brakes work great by the way! But, he was very nice, apologetic, and pulled the stroller back to prevent knocking me down.

So I continue happily around the next bend when a crazy squirrel darts out in front of me... I swerve and he turns and runs back into my path... I would have been pretty upset if I crushed a squirrel with my bike!!! But the squirrel finally decided where he was going and crossed the road again... so much for my safe little ride on Superbowl Sunday! Good news tho... I never did have a problem with any cars!
