152 bikes…yikes…

Well…as you know, when something unusual happens on the trail I like to count just to quantify what happened…like the 42 tiny bunnies from last year or the snake counts I have done earlier…and today started out normal…the shifter was working great and I even got rid of the squeak in the bike but I noticed that there was a lot of traffic on the trails…bikers especially so I thought I’d count them…and yikes…in the 15 miles on the ride today, I counted 152 bikes…almost 10 a mile and it is something I’ve never seen before…at the start of the 9 years I have been riding this bike, I could go the entire ride without seeing another biker but today was a little ridiculous…and there were a lot of the spandex boys out, too…wonder if that has to do that the Tour de France is on tv…it seems that every year when it is on, there are a lot more people out on bikes…at least I hope they go away after the tour is over…it was a pain moving through the traffic…maybe I’ll just have to go out earlier….who knows?
