Went for a peaceful country 60 odd miles this afternoon, into areas I didn't really know, but had a map and a plan.
Nice rolling countryside, hardly any cars, B roads and unclassifieds,
I'm tootling along heading to a village when I was startled by a huge blast on the horn from behind. Hadn't heard an engine, and was doing about 25 mph at the time. Let him know that blasting his horn wasn't appreciated, and he called me a " ****ing **at" and to get onto a bigger road! I gave him a peace of my mind and slowed, he then got out of car to try to have a bit more, so I tootled off, went past the horsebox around the corner, and never saw him or another car for about the next 15 minutes.
Had I been a horse, far more likely on these roads, I don't think the horn would have been used.
Other than that a nice ride, met up with a chap from Mapperley CC, who directed me to Southwell where I had a nice cafe stop, before 30 miles back into a headwind. A few wrong turns meant I did 70 miles,
Was nice to be out in the sun for once.
