Home to TPC
6:24 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
2.4 °C; Chance of rain
A rather windy morning, but mild. Roux does not like the wind noise and was eager to get back in the house, though both dogs were eager to come out with me again when I had to empty a pail at the compost bin later on. The wind was a big help this morning, driving me right along. Only a handful of bikes, some UMN ROTC folks working out all over Dinkytown Greenway and the Friday morning running group on the W river trail. The latter are disciplined, running in tight formation and move right aside when the "passing on your left" warning comes. Noticed the wind only while crossing Northern Pacific #9 and while on Glenwood and 11th. After getting into TPC, I took advantage of the bike shop amenities to tighten my derailleur cable a little more because I had noticed that I could not quite get onto the largest sprocket. Now it works perfectly with some room left for the tensioner! When I was done at TPC and walked across Nicollet Mall, it had started drizzling. Glad I missed that while riding the bike!

Feeling a little stiff from my fall. Big contusion on my right hip, where I hit the ground. Other than that, I appear to be fine. Grey and drizzly, Wet grass. Dogs don't seem to mind.

TPC to TCC
3:40 PM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
1.4 °C; Chance of rain
It wasn't raining so I rode. Maybe I should have taken the bus. Heading W on 11th, I was on the last block with heavy traffic when a pick-up pulled into the bike lane to get ready for a right turn, effectively blocking my way. He did so in the middle of the block, not able to move towards the intersection. I planned to hop onto the empty sidewalk using a driveway ramp. I guess I didn't have enough 'hop' since my front wheel caught the lip of the ramp and I went down on right side. Cussing, I got up and continued. The rest of the ride was uneventful, Only a very gentle headwind to contend with. A little pain in my right upper thigh, which had born the brunt of the impact. Learn and live ...
