Riding back from Chasewater this afternoon along side the canal in Brownhills and I suddenly felt in unfamiliar territory. Everything was wide open and I felt as though I had never ridden along there before. I realised that a good three feet had been taken off the tops of the hawthorn hedgerow and I could see the vista beyond and what a lovely vista it is too. I’m a bit short so I’ve never seen over the top before!
It was a lovely ride today, I was achieving zen on the bike when two things happened. The one I will not mention but the other was a car driver who despite being a long way behind me and seeing me towards the middle of the road and indicating that I was turning right, decided to speed up like a boy-racer and then overtake me. My language was not of a zen-like quality! The bad behaviour of car drivers towards cyclists never ceases to amaze me. I’m very cautious and careful on the roads, I don’t like being on them and incidents like this scare me. Perhaps that’s why they do it.
