H2W 29 via RBT + MMRT + CR: near miss

I had had a nice relaxing ride in through the Reformatory Branch Trail in Concord and on the MMRT with Jim.

Then on the way to getting coffee at Intelligentsia in Watertown, I had a run-in with a minivan in Watertown near Mt. Auburn Cemetery. I was coming up in the right lane when the minivan pulled out quickly into my lane. Couldn't steer clear, and my handlebar hit the side of the van. She sped off but was stopped at the light. I made her roll down the window and in front of her kids told her to watch out for cyclists. She never saw me. That could have bad. Just got off with some scraped knuckles and a shot of adrenaline.
