Construction Hazards - Driving Challenges

    I consider myself a pretty competent driver even in my more senior years.  Just as I also rate myself a relatively competent skier as I move into my 90's.  However, today I was challenged to deal with aggressive drivers and a plethora of highway construction as we delivered an e-bike to Syracuse to be put on sale.   GPS mostly guided us quite well with only a few issues.   However, because of the complexity of lane changes and bottle necks of construction it was a high stress trip.  

    The real kicker for this delivery was the road closure access to the bike sales company when we arrived at our destination.  We were able to park relatively close, but I ended up schlepping the bike up a steep hill to the entry door of the shop.  Thankfully, I am fit enough to negotiate that terrain.   Grateful to the shop owner for helping me make it up the final 20 feet or so!  

    So, whatever we do, we aren't guaranteed to have an easy go of it.  On the ski slopes we have some of those days too.  In spite of that, there are plenty of good days to make up for it.  Happy summer everyone!
