Yesterday (Saturday) was a perfect day for bike riding. My initial intention was to just go out and tool around a bit, so I didn't bother with sunscreen. The weather was so nice it turned into a two hour jaunt, which naturally resulted in a very faint red skin tone. Bah.
Most motorists were polite and aware, but a few (SUV drivers, all) decided it was okay to fly past me with mere inches of clearance. Bastards. The mini-cycle-lane on Wild Horse Creek between Baxter and 109 is nice, but could stand to be a bit wider and maybe cleared of debris from time to time. The construction on Long Rd. does not do cyclists any favors, as well. Hopefully when it's finished it will be more friendly. May have to look into the plans for the widening, see if the Powers that Be included provisions for cycling, as that's a pretty valuable bike corridor for access to the sweet backroads of Wildwood.
