Monday Dawn Patrol

This Morning's Tricky Tracking
I awoke around 4:25 AM this morning, and sleepily went back to sleep, desiring that last 30 minutes of shut-eye.  When I next cracked the peepers to see what time it was, I had overslept to 5:14 and I got up and rode anyway.
It was definitely cooler this morning, almost cold in the low 60's, but it still beats the stick-a-fork-in-me heat later on in the day.
I decided to replicate the loop route I "found" a few days ago, going north on the North Diversion Trail to Paseo del Norte, then west on the trail paralleling Paseo for about 1/4 mile until turning back south on Las Lomitas, following it to Vista del Norte and continuing on back towards Osuna, which then takes only a half a mile or so until I get to the Chappel/North Diversion Trail danger-section.  This is an intersection heavily used by commuters, large vehicles including CONCRETE TRUCKS, where it is NOT laned or marked for cyclists but where they must go to get off Osuna onto the bike trail.  There is a small sign stating "Share the Road, Watch for Cyclists", but that is of small comfort sitting next to a rumbling Semi at the intersection and hoping he can see you and is in the mood to be careful.  Fortunately, most truck drivers using this intersection are more polite and forbearing than the average motorist late for work.
