I ride each ride as defensively as I can, yet
I still do my best to enjoy the ride.
I leave here about 2:45 a.m. 3 days per week,
4:45 a.m. the other 2 days.
Their is virtually no traffic going, then
on the return trip home their is traffic
to contend with.
I try and not get caught up in the flow.
Their is road construction going on here
in our small town. Steel plates, pavement
uneven and several places where the entire
lane on both sides have been cut thru and
a nasty job of paving over it
.
Lots of impatient folks as this is 2 lane and
gets very busy.
I am on guard every sec and still have near misses.
I watch tires, people faces and just assume that the
one may turn out in front of as well as left in front
of me.
When coming to a stop or slowing down, I pump the
brake and it seems to give the person behind me some
notice that I will be stopping or slowing down more.
I also ride side to side in my lane so I don't become a
fixation to the person behind me.
We do our best and I hope that others remain safe and
get to their destinations and return home safe.
Hugs to all....
