Does this make me hardcore?

[simon.r]

I just followed a working gritter wagon for about 1/4 of a mile on my ride to Sainsbury's* to pick up my Friday night beer.

*Not sure if "hardcore" and "Sainsbury's" belong in the same sentence?!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

You've been gritted?
That is sore, I would have waited for the gritter to be well past.
Either you are hardcore or couldn't wait any longer for the beer

 

[ColinJ]

Well, I'd say that you were certainly showing 'True Grit'!

 

[si_c]

Euch, gritter wagons are no fun. Probably as much fun as the hail today.

 

[TissoT]

If you said you rode in "shorts" behind a gritter with beer in your back pack ... You would be hardcore. Enjoy the beer !

 

[NorthernDave]

No, if you were hardcore you'd have overtaken the gritter on your way to the pub.

 

[classic33]

Why only the one can though?

One thing worse than a gritting lorry is a dustbin lorry.

Me thinks the Council will run out of Grit, it cold in Notts but not freezing!

I'd say 8/10. A+ for effort though. I regularly try and slipstream the local rag and bone man so I can play 'avoid the scrap' as bits fly off the back off the van.

GOAB.

Or a pig farm on a hot day

Depends on what they've loaded the spreader with.

A real man would cycle behind Bernard Manning while he farts.

No. I think the effort you are willing to go to get a drink is more an indicator of your dependency.
