Say you’ve got a bunch of garbage to get rid of; why not just throw it on the side of the bike path! Some people have no class. There is an old video game behind all of the above trash.

I decide to wreak my lonerism on the Georgia road system today and wind up going 30 miles; a personal best for the year. I also cracked 35 miles an hour on one downhill portion of the trek.

I rode to Stone Mountain and from there to Gwinnett county (Norcross I think) on Mountain Industrial, which changes names to Jimmy Carter Boulevard at some point.

I do NOT reccomend that particular route. Once you pass through Tucker the traffic gets quite scary in terms of both drivers and the actual roadway. I was the only biker I saw in the Gwinnett country portion of the journey.

The top picture was where I turned, it was some exit off of I-85. The low picture is sort of Easter-y I suppose.

Yesterday I decide to go on a lovely bike ride. I go a bit further than I normally do, and on the way back I almost run over a cutting knife placed edge up on the bike path. I would presume it was placed there deliberately.

I pick up the knife and take it to the Clarkston police station, which was only about 100 yards away. I hand it to the cop (yes, I did walk up to a cop while holding a knife. He seemed cool with it.), tell him the story and he thanks me for doing it. All was good.

Then, while passing a jogger on the path, I misjudge the amount of room I have to work with by about half an inch and greet the ground at 15 miles an hour, landing knee, shoulder and head. Happily I was wearing a helmet at the time, otherwise I would have had to go to the hospital. I wound up having bad road rash on my leg, some shoulder bruising some minor neck pain/stiffness.

I took some photos of the blood and what not, but they turned out really blurry and I’m not going to post them.

That was my day.

I came across this odd site yesterday while biking on my usual route. I don’t remember seeing any of this before, either the dumpster or the garbage, thought I think there is usually more underbrush in this area. Behind the wheelchair was a poster for Terminator 2, which came out in the early 90s.
