Obviously, they riders are not as hardy where you live. Drove my wife to work this morning, and there were at least 10 riders on the way there, and back, in 5 miles...Last weekend was the fall flood run, and there were thousands of participants, but not me. This weekend is the annual LaCrosse OctoberDrunk. The bikes will be everywhere...

WOW!  Two to three weeks ago there were tons of bikes on the road.  Going out on my bike to run some errands last night, and I'm seeing just a handful.  The 60 degree weather has pretty much shut down most of the riding around here.

I also learned another thing.  My vision is not what it used to be.  Approaching a light, it turn yellow, and the car in front of me decided to take a stand and stop for it.  I guess I didn't judge my speed and distance to that car correctly, but I had to do a panic stop and I locked the back tire, which made a horrifically-loud screech.  I like the screech sound, only not when I'm making it.  I did go into a skid, but managed to be able to get in the next lane to avoid smacking the rear of the car.  Note to self:  Need to be more observant and aware of following distances.  Should not be thinking of problems at work while riding.
