You can't get it right all the time.
Like the banned tunnel I dobbed myself in for riding on one of the TCRs. It was fucking empty when I went through at 70kph. Jamming on the anchors to clamber around it (which I'd totally forgotten to do) was likely more dangerous.
I'm wondering if I should ride the gravel bikes during the Wessex events as training for the Serpents. The fat tyres would be a bit of a drag but might make the scrappy lanes a bit more fun.

I once took my wife on a route I'd planned and she actually got hit by a wing mirror. A white van got her on her shoulder, on the road through Epping Forest. Luckily it was just a skim and she didn't come off.
I'd only ridden that road early on Sunday mornings or on the Dunwich Dynamo so thought it was ok. It was terrible in morning rush hour.
