 Back to the scene of the attack
Rode to the used book store, 'The Book Den', at 67th ave and Greenway. Took Joan de Arc, 39th ave, Acoma, 47th ave, Paradise, 63rd ave, and finally Greenway. (I bought 6 Stephen King novels for only $13!) On the way back, I went west on Greenway to 71st ave where the parks dept was flushing fire hydrants, then attempted to ride east on Paradise, but Glendale Police had what looked like a two block section blocked off with patrol cars and yellow tape, a couple of blocks west of 67th ave. So I turned around and got on the AZ canal to head home. Told myself that if the dog owner's truck was still at the parking lot where I was bitten, that I would keep going and exit at 47th ave. Turns out that it was empty, so I stopped and did some thinking about the attack. Then continued home on 55th ave, then east on Sweetwater. The wind slowed me down, even though I was only hit by headwinds a couple of times. I was quite tired by the time I got home, my fitness has gone down a notch and the heat didn't help much.
