Weather changing rapidly.  It went from mid 80s down to 30's.  We got a reprieve the last two days and rain is forecast the next two days.  Knowing this I rode what I think is going to be my last outside distance ride of the season.  A 50 miler to Spring Valley was my ride yesterday.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Virtually uneventful until I got about 5 miles from my destination.  At a cross road between Route 89 and route 71 is a four way stop.  Carefully checking the cross traffic and seeing no vehicles, I rode through the stop as is per usual for bikers.  Heading in the opposite direction a individual in a truck yelled "hey, that was a stop sign" implying I should have come to a complete stop even though there was no cross traffic.  I responded with something to the effect that "mind your own business, or something like that.  Ha.  Riding conditions were particularly busy primarily because farmers a taking their crop to grain elevators.  Therefore, I was dodging semis, and large slow tractors in addition to regular Saturday traffic.  But all in all, a great day for riding a bicycle in the great outdoors.

 Outside riding the last 5 days.  Total distance was over 200 miles.  Great weather....dry and not very windy.  Many in the area are complaining about lack of rain.  Ha, look for the good.  Great bicycling weather.  On a down note, within the last two weeks and twice last week, oncoming traffic has witnessed a driver passing another driver while I'm in the road.  If not for me taking evasive action it would have been disastrous. I will now purchase a front light to warn the idiots of their error and hopefully they will not intentionally pass with me in the road.  Time will tell.  Couldn't help post the above pic.  Not cycling associated but worthy, nevertheless.  Stay tuned.
