Weekend

SO much happened this weekend, it was full and busy and hectic and SO much fun.

For starters though, on a very bad note, get well Emm ... she and her husband were travelling on that BLOODY N1 highway at night and the was literally side swiped by a truck. The motherfucker then drove away. Thnk you to all who stopped to assist, including some of the think bike guys .... she is remarkably well, considering ... with almost no damage save a shoulder injury. WEAR YOUR GEAR PEOPLE ... it saved her life.

The 94,7 cycle challenge was MOSTLY a success. As usual fuck you metro, useless bunch of assholes. Well mostly, a few of them were actually helping. For the rest of them, go kill youself somewhere discrete.

The route was badly planned, and we ended up with some intersections where people were driving into the route ... well done to all the think bike marshalls. Somehow hen the tb guys get to a problem the problem gets fixed, usually quite quickly. We also get more respect form the motorists than the metro do .... wonder why.

I did the sweep first thing in the morning. WOW. Ok, 220 in a 60 zone .... hehe ... WITH approval .... no breaking any laws *INSERT MASSIVE CHECHIRE CAT GRIN HERE* as well as taking the M1 south and N14 highways at autobahn speeds. I paid for it dearly though, since the rest of the day i spent myself trundling along the same route at often 10km/h .... with wifey on the back too.

What an amazing event, from all sides. I had great fun explaining to a truck driver who was "waiting for a break in the cyclists" that the next break was about 30km's down the road and comng at 10km/h. :D

Ah well ... all's well that ends well, and yesterday ended well.
