What if there were no hypothetical questions? ☀
Out by myself for the last real warm up ride before the Alpine Classic. Enthusiasm beat sense and I headed off towards Mt Buffalo, along the way seeing a pair of Wedge-tailed eagles circling up the valley and seconds later, two of what must be their fledglings perched in a tree overlooking the road. Enormous birds, and very impressive to see up close.
A fair bit of traffic passing on the way up Mt Buffalo, maybe two or three of them far too close, as I rode past the completely packed Eurobin falls car park the female partner of the most recent close-passing driver was loudly telling him “how dangerous cyclists were on this road”, ensuring that her voice carried to all around. Yes lady, stuff you and stuff your SUV, any closer and you’d have a broken mirror. Another few twists and turns on and sense kicked in, no point in completely wearing myself out today so I turned around and rolled back down, then off to Porepunkah for an iced coffee.
