Went out with mrs d yesterday (first time she'd been out since new year's day due to weather). Got 500 yards from home, first corner, black ice. I got as far as 'look out, it's ic....before she hit the deck. Bruised, scraped thigh and achy neck but nothing serious thank goodness.
We went home and waited an hour for it to warm up before trying again but enjoyed a very nice 50 mile ride round the (sunny) New Forest in the end.

First real run of the year.
Driving quite deplorable.
Two near things, one was VERY near.
A middle aged "Lady" overtook me with about a foot to spare. I knew she was coming up as I use a miror but it was still frightening. She must have heard me screaming at her and seen my gestures but if she did she did not show it.There isn't an answer. I have been cycling for 50 years and near misses are much more common now.

Should have put your hand out perhaps, given that you could see her coming - she may have noticed? Easier than screaming at someone in a box etc... (Slightly off topic though)
