Excellent bike ride outside! The weather was cool, but the sky was clear and the wind was not too bad. Almost hit a car in the rear end making my way to the point. I was traveling on the city streets preparing to make a left turn into potomac park and several cars were travelling pretty slow in front of me. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a bus in the right lane decided to turn left and cut off the cars in front of me. Breaks were hit, me and my bike slid and I just barely stopped by hitting my front break and doing a 5 second front wheel stand in mid air (3-6 inches from the rear end of a van).... Thank god for decent balance because after spending a few seconds on one wheel, I fell back onto the bike and traffic started moving (as did I)...
I have to say the views on haynes point are great and I get to see all of them because I am really slow on that mountain bike...I dream of the day I have a tri bike and possibly pass a person or two!

Dude, you won't be following cars so closely on that new tri bike of yours. Good purchase man! Can't wait to hear how it rides. You're gonna fly.
