Ride Description:

After a week of short rides and enjoying the beach today was another day of trying to get back into the groove. Between having a hard time staying focused on keeping a decent pace and my legs just not wanting to cooperate my speed going out was too slow to get the miles I wanted. I needed to get home to catch up on a few projects.

Not to make it sound like any kind of big deal, but this was the first time I have been run off the road and the nearest miss by a car in the miles that I have cycled. It was a pretty old guy and I just think he lacked either the mental judgment and/or the visual judgment. He was giving me a friendly wave as he almost hit me pulling out on the road while I was over at the white edge line of the lane he was pulling into. The right front corner of his bumper about hit my knee, but I went into the grass to avoid the contact.
