third verse
the first 1/3 of my ride is uphill and i invariably pass people. the rest of the way is flat to downhill which gives people a boost. well, that and they don't stop/slow down at stop signs and i do. it really bugs me when people on bikes don't follow the rules of the road. i surely bend the rules at times, but to not even slow down at stop signs/intersections gives the general public a bad view of cyclists.
the ride home last night was great with the HID light blazing. sometimes i wonder what my deal is - i've had this light and haven't used it for any of my night commuting. i've got a pretty good combo going right now - planet bike headlight flashing, tail light flashing and the HID showing me the way. if you see a circus on wheels in the madison area i just might be me!
last night when i arrived home oliver was waiting for me on the couch. the problem with this scenario is that when i left he had been latched in his crate. he somehow figured out how to disassemble the crate without damaging it. the end was folded inside of the crate - you'd have to see it to believe it. our dog is a contortionist i guess. we have decided to leave him out today hoping that his issues with the carpet are over. this is his last chance though, if he does anything stupid i will make sure he cannot disassemble the crate in the future!
i'm planning on adding on tonight - some military ridge action. that will also be more enjoyable with a nice bright light i would imagine.
i'm getting really excited for hales corners. i love that course - it has a little bit of everything. long straights, a solid hill and technical challenges. a good all arounder course which is what i consider myself - solid at everything but not really the best at any one feature type. my goal remains top 3 but i sure would love to get on the top step one of these days!
happy wednesday.
