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.
