Hi, my name is Doug, and I'm a VTA rider.
Aug. 14th, 2006 04:48 pmToday's ride home was just weird. Everyone near me was in some sort of alcohol or drug diversion program, and insisted on talking about it. Loudly. The best was the two teenage dudes who were trying to arrange a time to hang out, but kept running into scheduling conflicts due to AA, NA, outpatient group, and the ever popular "Friday's out, man. I got court."
Besides the Attack of the 12-Step Programmers, I finally got my bike working again, and rode to work today.
Distance: 5.312 miles
Maximum Speed: 21.0 mph
Average Speed: 10.9 mph
Time: 29m 22s
My speed was kept down because my tires were low on air. I need to dig up the pump and firm them up a bit before tomorrow.
Today was decent, and I finally got to have my truck washed. It could have been much worse. This accident occurred on a road I use at least twice a week. I know exactly where the accident was, and it is a death trap. Especially if the southbound vehicle is going ten miles an hour over the limit, as was reported by the CHP in a radio interview.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting. I'm going to Modesto again, but then have to head up to the Delta. This means some odd little county routes and State Secondary Highways. Ah, well. Think of it as an advenutre.
