I rode to work every day this week except Tuesday, when I had an appointment with my regular doctor for my 4,000 mile (six month) checkup. Yesterday morning, I was blocked by a train that stopped at a Sycamore School Road crossing. It was still stopped 15 minutes later, when I turned around and took an alternate route, down Crowley Road and then Altamesa Road. I can’t seem to get anywhere for trains these days. That’s the first time I’ve been held up on Sycamore School Road in the morning.
