Trinity: What did you just say?
Neo: Nothing. Just had a little déjà vu.
Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
I would have sworn that those water bottles were on the bike when I left today. 20 minutes later I reach down and there is nothing. I should have stuck with the Blue pill. Today was a hot and muggy how could I have forgotten my ice cold bottles of Hammer Heed and Perpetuam? so I turn around and head back home, 45 minutes lost.
Todays trip is brought to you by Sunday the day made for long slow days. All I wanted to do was get a long ride in and try my new route to connect Pontiac Lake Rec, Highland Rec and Indian Springs Metro Park with mostly back roads. I put my Garmin on the bike and did where my heart rate monitor but had no plans of really using it on todays ride just for recording.
The last couple weeks I have been getting a little more comfortable with the urban riding. The majority (80%) of people I have had experience's with have been good, people paying attention and not talking on there cell phones and playing by the rules of the road.
Of coarse there are those wise elders that have lets say vision challenges, I don't like it but they have payed there dues and I cut them some slack, then there are rest the people who think bikes have no place in there world and/or don't get in there way.
Like the jackhole who cut me off last week on a crosswalk that I had the right away on. Of coarse he was on his cell phone and I resisted the urge to plow into his car door.
In case you haven't ridden out at Indian Springs metropark recently, there is a Consumer Energy Pipeline Project cutting through my heart.
The work is schedule to last May - July 2009. Consumers told the park that it would be just like new when they are complete. I can't see how that can ever be, after the clear cutting it looks like they are putting in a 4 lane super highway with a center lane.
