I did a local 'sportive' today, in support of two new to cycling friends who are 'into' sportives.
Witness: inconsiderate overtaking, undertaking, lane crossing, turning, junctions, poor/no hand signals, disregard for other road users, a general sense of aspiring-class-one-upmanship, and to cap it all, some twonk discarding a bottle into the hedge (nice bottle for me though).
No brotherhood of the cyclist, am sad, probably won't be doing another one for a long time/ever.
On the upside, the weather was fantastic, even the debilitating headwind on the homeward leg, which has left me with a 'glow'.
