Farted around in neighborhood...Hundred Oaks/Country Club/Broussard/etc...nifty b/c of bike lanes and not a ton of traffic, and it's pretty much right around the corner from my house! I just wanted to get out and ride hard and fast. The wind was kickin'! Gorgeous day and it felt great to just GO.

One observation...the average driver has NO FREAKIN' CLUE how to react around someone on a bike...I mean, if you're sitting at a 4-way stop and you see a cyclist approaching the intersection, don't assume they are just gonna ignore the stop sign! IDIOTS! Frustrating when people just sit there and watch you...yeah, I know they are making sure i'm not gonna be some nimrod who has no regard for the rules of the road...but when you really think about the fact that most people DO NOT look out for cyclists...and many people in cars get ticked off at us b/c we are out there on the road with them (dare I say with just as much of a right to be there as they do)...it's frustrating! Argh...okay, done venting!

Also, typical pervs...I seem to encounter at least a perv a day...today it was this rubbernecker in an older black Navigator...he turned the corner as I was standing there behind my car, getting ready to put my bike up...he literally turned the corner and was going like 2 miles an hour, staring at me...HAVEN'T YOU SEEN A CYCLIST BEFORE? Sheesh...I should have stripped off my jersey just to mess with him! :p
