Just to redress the balance slightly.
Last year three riders died on the same day in separate incidents in Breatagne.
Club licences have more than doubled in price due to the insurance costs. At our club meeting we were told that ‘guests’ can no longer be accepted on club runs as they have no insurance.
I stopped going on our club ride when it does the busy Limoges circuit. A couple of years ago an irate motorist launched a handful of rocks into the bunch. The bloke next to me ended up in hospital with bad cuts and a broken nose.
A nasty trick I’ve seen a few times. A car comes past, diesel, then changes down and boots it’s belching out a could of filth for you to ride through. I expect that happens in the UK too.
