Took a tumble at the corner of Heathwalk St. and Chevy Chase St. At the stop sign, I tried to slow roll while yielding to a car. I should have put my foot down. Flopped over quite comically. Just some raspberries on knee and elbow and maybe a bruise on base of thumb.
Another beautiful day. Chatted with Phil at the north dock. |

I changed the batteries on my bike computer a few weeks ago and stopped getting phantom max of 65+ MPH, but it happened again today. Must be something on this route, which I haven't done much lately. |

I was turning left off WG lane onto Amity Dr. A car coming out of Amity, stopped, waiting to turn left onto WG Lane, then started up before I had cleared the turn. I shouted and the car stopped just in time. |
