Last night's commute home - scared the absolute shit out of a truck driver when he pulled out of a side road onto the main road I was riding on because the traffic in the left hand lane had stopped/signalled to let him out, I was coming down the outside lane (turning right ahead) and had already started braking but the driver must have though I was going into the side of him. Arms up behind the side windoow as if to brace for the impact as well, dunno how much he thinks a Pompino + rider weighs but I don't think I'd have done him/his truck much harm. Amused me though at least, made up for having to slow down. Tailwind the rest of the way and pulled an accidental awesome stoppy that wove between a few cars to get to the asl, 9/10.
This morning - Bastard of a headwind. Cycling Scotland conference on in the velodrome so expected to have loads of fluro clad promuters joining me on the road but it must have been too wet/cold for them as there was nobody on the road and only about 10 bikes in the racks when I got in. Losers. 5/10.
