Day 021 - Narrow roads

2.5-hour ride including some hills        Training via ActiveMail

RIDE FOR 2 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES AT A VARIED PACE ON A COURSE WITH SOME HILLS: On longer rides, you'll often be on roads with no shoulder. These narrow roads are quite safe for cyclists if the traffic volume is low. Don't hug the extreme right edge of the road. If your attention wanders, it's easy to ride off the abrupt edge of the pavement and possibly crash. Also, if you grovel as far to the right as possible, motorists won't give you any additional space when they pass. Instead, ride a foot or two to the left of the road's edge, encouraging motorists to move over and pass safely.
