I hit 5000km last night on my way home so I had to pull over and take a picture.

I wonder what will happen when it hits 9999.9?

Other things to note about the ride last night:

- I almost got run over twice while crossing with the signal in reasonably well lit intersections going north on 14th ave. to get to the river. I know the girl in the passenger seat saw me on the first one from the start because she was screaming at her boyfriend to look out as he hammered the accelerator to turn before a car came from the other direction.

…and people wonder why I avoid riding on the street as much as humanly possible.

- I’m discovering I need to ring my bell about 10 times for some people to clue in what it means… and even then so many people have their iPod cranked they can’t hear it anyway (but still get pissed at me for riding by them with “no warning”)

- blowing wind does suck. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a tailwind when the wind really decides to kick up… last night wasn’t one of them.

but… 5000km. yay!
