may 29, 2009 pt 1

saw a large number of bikers today. 2 or 3 group rides, one of which was leaving from the corner of my street. i pulled up and asked them if it was a club and they are, but a loose one. but most of them are from a group called the princeton freewheelers. i heard about them a while ago and didnt hear good things so i thanked and pulled ahead.

after a while i got yelled at by some people walking with a baby carriage. they told me to slow down. maybe i was too close to them? they were walking in the street though and a car was coming up behind me. either hard brake (mind you i have a possibly scratched fork), or swirve in front of BIG SUV. oh well. in the moment they had the right to yell.

i came .2mph average speed closer to the goal today. i was flying! if i didnt take a quick break on beekman i would have had it. oh well. this was the first time on the cannondale in a while. i can tell pulling the extra weight on the kona is making me stronger. need to work on hills though.

so...
