Failing to acknowledge other cyclists

[GrumpyGregry]

No escape from reality. Especially in a landslide.

No escape from reality.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see....

(also, well done for spotting the deliberate mistake. 2 points!)

Glad we cleared that up.

I have once had to text a colleague elsewhere in the quiet carriage to ask him to turn his phone off. And on the train back from Inverness I had to ring my travelling companion because he had got lost and forgotten we were in first class and had sat down in standard to drink our beers and was wondering where I was. He was very overtired and emotional.

Man, about my age, overtook me on the bottom third of the climb up Bury Hill from Arundel y'day afternoon


And stifling his futile lowest-possible-gear counter-attack by the simple expedient of standing up on the pedals and giving it some beans, I dropped him like a stone. And then bagged his mate.

Am I no longer in the friendly cyclists club?

I read this as "...then banged his mate"

I thought to myself, my, you did have a lot of energy that day.

Earlier in the day I did become somewhat distracted by a gorgeous flame haired woman on a bike.

I dropped back sharpish.

Caught in a trap. No turnin' back. We're lost in music.

Is that on the A29? Nasty hill that.

A29 does cross Bury Hill tis true but we were toiling up the A284 London Road from the A27/Arundel By-Pass having ridden up from Ford. A29 climb going south is less height gain but shorter distance (104m in 1.25km) and much steeper than going north on the A284 (142m in 3.75km)

You see why I don't like travelling on trains.

Well, certainly not in the same train as @GrumpyGregry ...
