Long road run.. Beauchief up to ringinglow, out to stanage, down to millstone up to surprise view, past fox house . owler bar > totley >millhouses park> beauchief.. just shy of 19 miles, 1800ft ascent 7:12 pace..
Pretty horrid circuit..
Drivers were OK.. one was fantastic..
Drove into me refusing to budge I dive out the way and hurl abuse, he jams his breaks on, reverses back into me.. jumps out runs at me.. so I shove him back and exchange a few words, really should have thrown a punch but I need a clean record for this visa... he then yells at me 'Did tha see me.. Did tha see me!!'
Yes clearly I did, I just assumed you'd pull over a metre you little fat shit, 'lay a hand on me again and I'll put tha in the ditch'
He had no teeth so I think he had form for getting a kicking...
TBH I think I was well within my rights to shove him away, he'd just driven into me and reversed into me making contact.. when he jumped out I think I was right to expect an attack.. anyway a woman pulled over and yelled that I was right to be running into traffic...but she was 'a stupid bitch' in his words.. an old guy stopped as the traffic by now was all stopped.... then two cyclists stopped and he then got back in his car..
Stupidly i didnt get his number.. she was a runner so tempted to tweet see if anyone got his number...
His argument was I should run on the rough grass on the side of the road... anyway helped my pace... was sub 6:20 for a chunk of miles with that adrenalin....
