^^That. I've been caught in a cattle stampede, and it's truly frightening.
On the same topic, as I'm back in Nottingham I rode to Melton Mowbray again, with Yas. On a hill which defeats all but the geared clan we paused by a field of some heffers, and bulls, and watched as they grew steadily more agitated by us, until there was hoof-stamping on their part and excrement flowing down shorts on mine. Then they tried to eat some rope, got bored, and trotted off.
A geared roadie passed us as we walked up the hill. He looked at our bikes, then us, and scoffed; 'Fixed. You get no sympathy from me. Sado-masochists". Never been called one of them before. Not sure I'm up to the task, but will be fun finding out.
