One more for the road...

Oya, and I forgot the most interesting part of the day, too!

Riding along in a nice five-man paceline (a good paceline is one where I don’t have to pull), we were passed by a couple cars on Concord Street in Carlisle. Moments later, we hear the screech of metal and I see a tire flying across into the guardrail on the opposite side of the road. Apparently the driver (on his way to church with his two young daughters) had just gotten his old Volvo wagon worked on, and they’d either barely tightened the lug nuts or didn’t even bother putting them on! This all happened about a quarter mile ahead of us, but that car had literally just passed us. Kinda freaky.

More freaky still is that this happened less than a quarter mile from where I was taken down in a paceline crash back in July. Bizarre.
