AG: Scraping the notes
At the bottom of the first page of my notes on Tue 4 June 2019: "AG: overtaken stop pedal". At the time, that was enough to remind me of what I meant to write about being overtaken by a larger vehicle, but right now all I can remember is that it's often a good idea to stop pedalling once it's on your left so as to shorten the time spent beside it. There's a lot more to it, but it's pushing bedtime and I'm not very bright. Perhaps I'll open my training diary and transcribe the notes that have been accumulating for a couple of months. At least I've been geting out! The roads were slick the whole winter; writing notes faster than I can process them is a real luxury. Reminds me of the cellphone discussion raging over on bikes.tech -- I write the time at every stop, except when I forget, so I consult my cellphone frequently on every ride. Writing the time was originally part of a scheme to get my top speed above five miles per hour, but I haven't had time to calculate my speeds recently. I also use the phone to reassure my spouse that I'm not lying in a ditch waiting for a road crew to notice my red scarf and tell their dispatcher to call for an ambulance. I think maybe the scar is less lumpy than it was before I started rubbing Vitamin-E oil on it. Pity I didn't take a close-up photograph before I started. (People in cars couldn't see into the ditch. The guys in the high truck could.) -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
