Yes...I am doing the Argus AGAIN. I always say : THis is my last one...and then I enter AGAIN.
After last year's wind, I thought , Well it couldn't get much worse that that.
so I am training again, albeit a bit late. I am going on 4 cylces a week and really enjoy it, except in areas where there is no yellow verge. It seems that cyclists don't have a right to be on the road( according to big lorry drivers). I literally had to veer off onto the dirt, in order to survive. I now have to think twice about cycling on my favourite road, past De Meye. I mean, obviously a cyclist is going to come off second best, so does one just have to accept the fact that there is no place for us on the roads?
Is it too much to ask for cars and lorries to slow down and give me a wide birth?
What is the solution?
I enjoy mountain biking, but there is something about being on the open road that appeals to me....and any way, my mountain bike was stolen.
So I will carry on taking my life in my own hands, cycling on the glorious Wineland roads and just brace myself for countless puntures , and go on to the dirt when a lorry comes past.
Yours, Cathy Milner
