Much better weather today as i made my way up to the craven arms for my medicine, but with better weather come retards from the suburbs. People who don't mind risking your legs by overtaking you on a blind crest expecting anyone coming the other way to just work with it and get out of the way. Twice in a row now i have been unfortunate with my timing and ended up behind a stinking sheep transporter all the way through ilkley. It's definitely time to start wearing sheilds again too, if not for traffic dust, for flies; i'm still picking crap out of my eyes. Whilst at the craven arms i saw one of the best comb-overs i have ever seen, atop the head of a guy who had gone down the 15yrs my junior Thai wife route. I suppose when age comes for you, you can either roll with it or fight it; i can probably say he's having more fun that me and most likely doesn't ride depressed and alone every sunday.
