quick bike entry

[winterbadger]

Slightly exhausted. Meant to get up early and go down to the bike trail, but I slept too late. Did Route #2 and the Big Hill and the loop. 2.6 miles. 18 minutes. Successfully avoided an overprotective dog and it's walker (why do so many slight women get large dogs they can't control? it's a lawsuit waiting to happen...) and a car or two. Very tired. Want to go back to sleep.

11 morning rides now (plus whatever I did before I got the computer) and I've done just over 25 miles. Probably about what my friends Tim and Tom used to do just to get to and from work every day when I was working in Crystal City. :-)

why do so many slight women get large dogs they can't control?

maybe slight women get big dogs for protection? *shrug* being a not-slight woman with a not-at-all-big dog, I know not for certain. But I would guess your being alive and well is a testament to her having some modicum of control, no? :)

No, not really. It's a testament to my (nascent) cycling skills.

I saw this at my vet's the last time I was there, too, and it really annoyed me. Several people came in with huge dogs they had no way of controlling without help from the vet's assistants, and those dogs were just enthusiatic.

Having a dog that you can't control doesn't make you safer; it makes you unsafe.
