Hard to believe this bike is 22 years old!
I won’t have my road bike back until the weekend, so it’s time to pump up the tires on the Klein and head out for a cruise.
The best thing I can do is to just get right back on the bike and get back to riding.
I took my bike in to the bike shop and they’re checking her frame for cracks. The repair guy said at first look he didn’t see anything obviously wrong with the frame, but they’re going to check to be sure. The wheels and tires seem to be OK, too. I won’t get her back until the end of the week.
I will have to replace some components and hopefully that won’t cost too much.
Advil, ice, and rest seem to be helping me. I think I’ll have a better idea tomorrow if I need to go to the doctor.
I can’t believe I did not get this man’s name. I can’t believe he didn’t even offer to tell me. The crash was completely and unarguably his fault alone. He was riding too fast for his ability and level of awareness and speed of his reflexes. He is a menace and should NOT be allowed to ride. He couldn’t just swerve to his right and land by himself in the grassy ditch. No. He had to swerve to his left and take me out. Thanks. Sure glad I was there to break your fall so you didn’t hurt yourself.
OK. I said it. I am pissed. I think I’d better step away from the keyboard … now.
So much for riding this weekend. Some *bleep* just crashed into me on the bike path. He came around a corner, not looking where he was going, and going way too fast. Thanks, you *bleep*.

Off to the bike shop for repairs. Off to the drugstore for Ibuprofen and ice packs.

Four weeks from right now, I will just be starting my first Team LIVESTRONG Challenge Davis. Today’s weather is looking like it’s perfect for a training ride. I’ll be heading out soon and hope to meet up with the DBC on their stop in Winters at Steady Eddies.

This morning started out beautiful – I didn’t see a cloud in the sky and there was just barely a breeze when I started out. Somewhere along the way, clouds started rolling in and a breeze kicked up.
Clear Blue Skies
Still calm, but the breeze is starting to pick up
Looks like we've got some storm clouds rolling in - which is a little unusual for this time of year near Davis!
Today’s ride put me at 76% of my May Is Bike Month goal for total miles in May. I’ve got just one week to go. I think I’ll meet my goal this weekend.
Davis, Winters, Cantelow, Winters, Davis … 56 miles … 1,994 calories …
Now it’s time to go get ready for a BBQ with friends I haven’t seen in ages!

I’m not sure why, but I can’t get these pictures to post correctly in my Tour de Cure post, so I’ll try in a separate post …
These strawberries were as sweet and delicious as they are bright and beautiful!
