Tales from today's commute....

White van shenanigans this morning.

 

[simon the viking]

My (true) version of this mornings events - A van tries to overtake me (on a free flowing road so I haven't gone up the inside in traffic) gets level with me and realises he cant make the left turn into the side road level with me.... Passenger glares at me... Van brakes hard drops back in behind and makes turn

Me (edited language) Excuse me sir what on earth are you doing....

His version (probably) to work colleagues - Well this idiot came up my inside and and it was only because of my excellent driving skillls and observation that I didn't knock him off..... Should've really cause he don't pay road tax....

My cheaper mtb shoes were soaked last night so I put the more expensive (stiffer soled) ones on and it felt great, especially when overtaking a moped which I'd drafted for a couple of miles Arrived at work a little early however , and decided for a couple of laps of the block before heading in.

So if I ditch the flat pedals and trainers and get new shoes I might be 2mph faster????? Maybe I should try them. As far as drafting a moped, I doubt I could catch it in the first place

@Mo1959 You'd manage to draft easily along Oundle Road, its fairly flat and traffic speeds would only be in the region of 20mph or below.

Cheers for that, I thought one day someone would spot me in a CC jersey
I assume it's me, I'll ask them where they saw me and check out the video for that day.

Thought I was registered on YACF but apparently not, so waiting for approval.
