On my yesterday, this pair was hanging out on the bridge, just chillin' and handing out dog treats, some water, and sticks.

Since the pandemic hit and everyone else discovered going outside, I've mostly avoided riding the into – but I had a rare weekday morning free and I've been wanting to go the distance to the bridge, so that's what happened today.

A week off the bike for mild knee pain and less mild rain. Back at it today, but since I was dialing in new cleats I didn't feel like doing any climbing and taking a chance on torquing my knee again. Just straight out and back on the

Met a fun guy along the way.

Despite wind, a late start, and basically having to stick to the (don't like fighting with cars during the drive home in suburbia), I did get out for a quick 38km today. Just using this to help remind me: I don't get better by not doing it.

In addition to eagles, hawks, feral cats and a whole lot of horse poop on the trail, I saw a fox with what was either a stick with a sock wrapped around it or . . . something else.

A recent encounter – crosses a busy street, the crossing is marked and painted (but no crossing lights). Driver looks like he is coming to a stop; I check the other way and inch my bike into the crossing. Driver then dramatically slams his brakes (not close) and begins wildly gesticulating and pointing at .... the sign that tells him he has to yield to people in the crosswalk. I also pointed at the sign, then the crosswalk, and went on my way.
