Saturday Encounters

Today's training ride was good despite cold temperatures (53 F, wind N at 15 mph). While riding I made a careful accounting of the things that I saw on the road:

1 coyote
3 turkeys
1 raccoon (deceased)
2 herds of cattle (one heard was sitting, the other was standing)
12 cyclists
countless vehicles (one near miss . . . j/k mom)

In addition to this list, I encountered a lost motorist who asked me for directions. Unfortunately, he caught me at a time when I was also lost, so I was of no help to him. Instead, we both laughed and agreed that being lost while driving a car was much better than being lost while driving a bike.
