hour 3.

rain day today. used my rain bike (w/ fenders) 3 1/4 hours
Levi group ride. i managed to take it easy.
cut out a little early down misty Franz Valley Rd.
verbally asulted and almost killed by several big truck drivin' types.
i think it's the little turtle shells they glue to the yellow center line. .
when cars/trucks have to pass, they have to cross over the turtles. . causing massive vibration and annoyance. . as well a chronic state of irritation with cyclists. ..
today, an on-coming truck honked to be noticed, then the driver extended his finger. .
like i said, chronic.
my dad successfully made it through surgery today.
they had to remove a gland. ..
that was going on while i was rolling through the misty, vineyard landscape.
that's what i thought about. .
some people were fasting for my dad and his day of surgery. .
the best i could do was make it a no-eat ride .. i had some breakfast,
but didn't go for that Powerbar in my pocket, though i wanted to,
esp at hour 3.
