We had initially planned for a rain date but it turns out we wouldn't have enough volunteers for Sunday. So it will be tomorrow. The weather looks a bit unpredictable so if it is indeed too wet we will have to cancel. But if it's just drizzling it will go ahead.

It took three of us to stop one driver. He backed up to try to go around me. Then a friend joined me while Steve calmly talked to him. By the end I heard Steve telling him that it was a nice area to live in.

And both drivers stated "I live here". So? The kids have the right to be on that road as much as them. I tried to explain that to one man and he berated me about kids needing to know the "rules of the road", ie staying on the right side of the yellow line. I then stopped trying to reason with him.

And thanks for your cool, calm, collected level headedness!

There was a lot of loose gravel in that section of the trail too. And A LOT of potholes.

And I saw you and your kiddos watching the boats as I biked past you on the bridge! And then @danp.net saw me on Devonshire and generously waited for me as I slowly climbed the hill.

Yup. We've tried that section of the Blueberry Run too. It might be a bit outdated now, but the trail even disappeared at one point during high tide. But if your dogs will allow, the Gaetz Brook Greenway section is lovely!

I report close calls on bikemaps.org. I don't know if it will ever get looked at by any decision makers, but it makes me feel like I am at least contributing to some citizen documentation. If a lot of people did this, it could highlight particularly problematic spots.

We biked a section in the gaspereau valley in the spring and it was terrifying. And that's when the wineries weren't even open.
