No Sleep Ride

Yesterday after only a couple hours of sleep, several hours of trying to be productive at work, and many cups of coffee...

I went for a 45 mile ride. This route doesn't get interesting until after mile 2o. The first part of the loop goes through some questionable (although safe) areas. At one point, as I was trying to grab a drink from the water bottle it slipped out of my hand, into the middle of a 4 lane busy street. I quickly pulled over and stopped, expecting my bottle to be crushed under many wheels. To my surprise traffic had stopped, with a driver motioning me to pick up my water bottle. My sarcastic nature wondered if it was just a ploy to get me in the middle of the road to run me over but I put my faith in my fellow human being and retrieved my water bottle, waving thanks to the stopped motorists. Weird huh?

The rest of the route was uneventful except for the sunset and other scenery. Sorry but I only have a photo of the sunset to share.
