So here's the scoop.  I am finishing my ride for the night, about a half mile from home.  I have to ride about 3 miles through city streets to get out of town.  They're mostly residential, lotsa stop signs, yield signs, etc.

So I'm coming up on an intersection where I have the right away and cross traffic has yield signs.  I look right nothing, look left and there is a car flying down the road.   I start hitting the brakes and wait to see if the car is slowing down.  A split second later its obvious the car is blowing through the intersection.  I lock up the brakes.  My rear tire skids out to the left as I skid to a stop just in front of the intersection.  By this time the car is halfway into the intersection and I think it may have slowed a little.  I manged to get only one foot unclipped so I end up losing my balance and toppling over while the car drives away.

Two ladies from opposite sides of the street came to see if I was okay.  They complained about how awful that intersection is and one vowed to file a complaint with the city because this wasn't the first time something like this has happened.  Honestly, it's not the intersection, it's stupid drivers.  At least the last guy who almost hit me (he blew through a stop sign) stopped to see if I was okay.  I'm not sure this driver ever saw me

And I realize this ^^^^^^^^ could have been many posts, but I believe ranting is more effective as one big long post

Needless to say I am inspecting the foam level on my beer right now and it seems to be just about perfect

Beer's a recovery drink, right??

So the more I drink the more "recovered" I'll get?

I am happy that you and the bike don't have anything Neal!

I have to agree here, beer is definitly a recovery drink!

Thank you dee

I have a run planned today and it's raining. It's been a while since I ran in the rain.

Used to be snow

Morning everyone!

 I get to run in the sun!...oh and no more 4 letter word that starts with s!

enjoy your recovery drink.....just not too much of it! I enjoyed too much wine on Thursday and no training for Fri because of it!...or can I log core work?

Finally feeling human today!

<<<<<600!

Good morning team!!

*Saturday morning cartoon toppage*

How is everyone?  Anyone running today?

Yea for warming temps!  I'm in the same boat with the run and the rain today

I did, thanks!  But I got really tired and went to bed after a couple at about 10:00 last night

He he!  Core work.  Sorry to hear that

Good morning!

I was looking forward to my weekend ride today but we've got 20mph winds with gusts to 45! I'll be riding inside :(

Running tomorrow (and Tuesday, and Thursday...)

Bummer about the weather but probably a good call.  I went for a ride in similar conditions a couple of weeks ago and was honestly pretty scared for most of the ride

So i woke up this morning and my hip is a little sore and bruised from where I hit the pavement.  I'm about to head out on a nice long run so that could make things interesting

Hehe it should count as core work

Morning
