Sunday looks like a less windy day than tomorrow so I thought I’d go and do 25 miles or so on the Tricross after work today, have tomorrow off then do a longer one on Sunday. A decidedly cooler day than yesterday. Cloudy and moderately windy. I headed up through Coleorton, over to Long Whatton and Diseworth then back down Top Brand.
Coming back down through Coleorton, a lady driving a Corsa stopped to let me pass a line of parked cars. Her window was down so as I passed her, I smiled and gave her a nod of thanks. This provoked a bizarre reaction. First she stared at me vacantly, then her whole face creased up in a look of intense cavewoman rage. Then her mouth opened wide and she screamed “WANKER!!” furiously. Then there was a squeal of tyres and she accelerated away behind me.
What that was about, I have no idea! But some readers will be commending her on an accurate character assessment in a very short space of time, I’m sure.
As I reached the bottom of Top Brand I realised that I’d be home on about 21 miles, but it’s hard to extend a ride by a few miles from there. Back on 21.34 miles.
