I had several today.  The first what my ex-work would have called a Near Miss.  It involved holding my keys in my left hand, carrying a bike up stairs, and my left nostril.  Use your imagination.  The good news is I just managed to do no damage at all. Phew.
I ride seemed to go that way too.  I was really feeling the road rage by the time I finished.  I rode for two hours and I swear something happened about every 10 minutes.  Part of it was my fault for sure.  I would not recommend the route that I picked.  I headed up somewhere a little west, just north of the 401   I wasn't all that far from where I went Monday, but somehow I managed to find a more industrial route.  In case you drive a minivan, truck, box van etc. and your an asshole, I just wanted to mention that it's not actually cool to pass a cyclist going 80 km/hr (in a 50 zone) in the same lane as the cyclist.  Okay, I'd be pretty surprised if I know anyone that does that.  I also just had a little bad luck - stalled vehicles and lane closures and the like creating traffic and chaos. 
I have good bikes news as well.  I'm going to do a separate post about it.
