Me and my two better bozom buddies having a wedding avoiding pootle round the Essex lanes this morning. On the main drag from Epping back into Leyton, we were single filing up the hill and two cockwads in cars decided to overtake traffic coming in the opposite direction. They must have seen us and elected not to care for our fragile little lives. We were doing about 18 they were doing about 90. Had one of us swung round a pot hole or elected to overtake each other we'd have been killed outright in horrific fashion. We all agreed that it was seriously terrifying. Didn't ruin what was a very pleasant few hours in the saddle but it sure made us think.
