OK, I could probably have put this in the Bike forum.
I’ve been to Derbyshire today and enjoyed some lovely sunshine and riding. But, I’ve been the victim of bad manners seemingly all day!
Climbing up the Roman Road from Hope we kept swapping places with a large group. At the last gate before Hope Cross they were ahead and were letting people through. I was 10 feet behind their last rider but they let the gate swing closed for me! I would have offered to close it if they’d held it open!
Then, riding up and out of Jaggers Clough I was sticking left to avoid the stupid steps. Some gimp came belting down that side and forced me over so I had to interrupt the climb and deal with a step! If I’d been riding down there I’d have happily been hitting all the steps.
Then, heading out to Pindale top some woman held the gate for me, but closed it on my mate. Why?
Finally, we got blocked behind some nice gent in a red Jag coming back down the M1.
Middle lane empty. Inside lane empty. But he would not budge. I don’t like flashing (my lights) and I won’t undertake.
Eventually he started making rude gestures at me.
Anyway – I enjoyed the ride 🙂 Which I guess is the main thing.
