I came around a familiar blind corner to see a woman on my left & a man pushing a kid in a stroller on my right. I calmly told them I’d ride right between them but the man decided to push the stroller to his right directly into my chosen stated path. I managed to juke right (on the heavy bike with the short-bar) & avoid a pretty terrible crash guaranteed to hurt me & the kid in the stroller.
We had good weather & the later starts mean i get in a full basement workout in before riding. What I used to like most about Tuesday & Thursday rides were the slower pace & mostly gentle routes. This last quarter season I’ve switched to a tough hill-repeat buffered by mostly flat loops. I’m learning to like it just fine.
Hoping to develop a decent rhythm
