Stage 1 of the tour de Glastonbury. I was inspired by yesterday's exciting finish. It also was good to loosen up my legs from yesterday's run, they were sore this morning. It was still cool this morning, but it's heating up fast. I went down route 17 to Chestnut Hill Rd, across Quarry to Manchester Rd., down Brook which quickly turns into Neipsic Rd., then over Hubbard and back to 17 to finish through the center of town. While many of this morning's driver's were courteous enough to give me wide clearance, I was a bit disgruntled at seeing a jeep passing another vehicle passing me going down the hill on Neipsic, then nearly causing a head-on collision with another vehicle coming up the hill right in front of me. That kind of reckless behavior seems intolerable. Fortunately no one was injured on this occasion. I am convinced that road biking is inherently more risky than mountain biking.
