It was mid 90&#8217;s temperature with heat index at about 105.  So I kind of took it easy and stopped a few times in my 16 miles to drink water. I had my GoPro knockoff camera on the handlebars set to take a photo every ten seconds. So I get hundreds of photos and I only save a few.  I get passed a lot when I ride. You can tell this dude is passing me because he&#8217;s on my left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2mkyoxR\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51417160767_aebfd17a97.jpg\" alt=\"2021_0901_104821_253-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I passed this guy several times. I&#8217;d pass him and I&#8217;d stop for a water break and then I take off and pass him again.

At least he is not coming at me head on. That is what a really old guy did to me last year about this time. Veered right into me. I&#8217;m glad that I didn&#8217;t have my camera on the bike then except I still remember all the details except thinking at first I was going to evade him and then he turned further into me while he was screaming. I was glad I had my helmet on because my head hit the pavement. I&#8217;m all good now except I am extra special vigilant when riders come my way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2mkHga4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51418891905_1aac61a58d.jpg\" alt=\"2021_0901_101401_050-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"354\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another couple of innocent bystanders.
