No ride today; Kinross Sportive on Saturday past, 90 hard miles including an off at 50mi (Caution! Steep Descent! means put the brakes on. Which i did. And fell over.) back tomorrow.

Two motons (separate incidents) threatened to kill me if I didn't get out of their way. A third simply tried to do it i.e kill me when his passenger gave me a shove on a busy roundabout. Really don't feel like cycling anymore:cry:

Nasty. Reported ? We shouldn't have to put up with this.

Today was a "I said I'd walk next-door's dog - the kid has been sick all night so I've not slept - sugar, somehow we don't have any breakfast cereal - can you get supplies for the poorly kid while you're out - cripes, I'm supposed to be dropping the car off at the garage - I'm opening up at work' day.

Was glad to get on the bike for the bit from the garage to work. (Car has knackered brake calliper, so that's a few hundred quid - huzzah!)

Glad to hear you escaped unharmed. It is tough but we cannot let these tosspots win.

Scrivens - I missed this. Glad you're ok, but this really should not be happening.

Managed a rather cheeky detour covering 50km and 1000m climbing on the way home.

Really unsettling. Didn't report anything as I've no evidence and TBH no expectation that it would do any good. Just have to get back on the bike and hope for the best:scratch:

That's the spirit, glad you are in one piece. You have to wonder what kind of person does that sort of thing to a fellow human, though.

Still a bit heavy legged still after Sunday's ride, so had to dig in this morning. Very foggy on the Northants leg but nothing to report. Good ride through London - hoping for the same on the return legs.
