3 Hours on the roads.

6 rainstorms, 2 with hail, 2 periods of sunshine, an old fart who forgot to put his wool socks on and 1 bike put away dirty.
1 Semi driver with dual flat decks, empty, doing a sudden lane change, with me almost even with his cab. He spotted me 3/4 of the way into his lane change and swerved back into the other lane. By then I was back by his last flat deck wondering if I was going to make it or dump as there was a concrete curb on my left and he was on my right. Not the type of squeeze play I enjoy.

I will say I was the only idiot out there. I stopped at Langley Holeshot, Mike said he has not had anybody ride in for awhile.
Could have used a riding buddy to buy a hot chocolate.
