ok, i ran a redlight (i thought it was clear). jeep was comin' through, so i jammed on the front brake emergency style (i only have a front brake as i ride a fixed gear, but at least i run a front brake. some fixie riders don't) and went ass over tea kettle! got a good strawberry on my left side buttock and a scraped up left elbow (to match the one on my other elbow from a previous mishap).

dude in the jeep was all apologetic! i said "duder! it was my fault! hell i ran the freakin' light." i mean i take responsibility for my actions. ya gotta man up.

but boys, i learned a valuable life lesson today--and that is not to run redlights unless ya make damn sho' ain't nobody comin'!!

43 miles yesterday at 19.1 mph with Nate.

Not a perfectly flat ride but not too much elevation. A couple 3-400 ft climbs and rollers the rest of the ride.

Been there, done that.

Haven't been riding enough to worry about mileage, but working on getting back into it, hence this log.
