If that overtook me with a car looming in the other direction i would bail into the ditch!

If that overtook me with a car looming in the other direction i would bail into the ditch, unless I was on a STRAVA segment then they can swivel!
more realistic.

I've never experienced any bad overtakes on club rides.
Then again, I've only been on one club ride.

The road was standard. Pretty wide and the lorry driver went right over to the other side of the road. Upon seeing this i felt reasonably safe. When he cut in, to avoid the oncoming car, i then stopped pedalling. Once the second trailer came in to view, i had an equal eruption of both fear and anger - considering the front of the rear trailer was already at my right arm and i was a foot from the verge.
I carried on and treated it as run of the mill. I refuse to let these incidents ruin road cycling for me.

That will just get me started on cars pulling out in front of me when they think they have enough time!!He sees a bike n thinks 10mph, dosnt know its pedro doing 35mph
Result is me slamming on the brakes and reducing speed to 35mph.

It is indeed and it marks my only ride over that way. Hence the 5 or 6 KOM's.I dont believe that for a second!

The guy in 1st place enjoys a good spanking when he ventures into my neck of the woods. though i must admit he is a decent climber. Must rack up a good few segs in Stirling area, where he lives.
I am unfamiliar with Strabba ranks but i assume Stirling is one of few cities added. Not my area unfortunately but nice to know i rank 170!!

Yup, don't know who he is. I think a Cat 2 or 3 rider if memory serves. Fast up the hills and fast down the hills. Sound right?aye just looked your in 8 segments with 5/6 of them koms
