I did a two-hour plus straightforward cruise yesterday, in nice climate. Out and again on Coyote Creek path to the place it’s flooded out from the latest rains, then South in direction of Gilroy on the calmly traveled nation roads on the east aspect of the valley. Throughout my warm-up I had a psychological lapse and nearly rode into the again of a parked trailer as a result of I used to be daydreaming as a substitute of watching the place I used to be going. I swerved and got here to a panic cease, however misplaced my steadiness and did a slow-motion fall. No hurt accomplished. The cool half was that two separate drivers in pickup vans stopped to ensure I used to be OK. It’s good to be reminded there are many good individuals on the planet.
After I go away for my rides my spouse at all times say “have enjoyable, be additional cautious” and I promise I’ll. I feel we’ll have to vary It to “additional additional cautious”. No extra daydreaming at 15 mph!
