Went out on the tourer this afternoon, for the first time this year. In fact for the first time for a few months as I was busy on other things in late summer and autumn last year. The weather was good for a fair weather cyclist like me – cold but a little sunny. But my legs are bad!
On the way home I rounded a bend at a reasonable speed to find myself nose to nose with a horse. Its mate was the other side of the road. If I'd been in a car I might not have been able to stop and they almost certainly wouldn't have heard me. A plummy voice said "Sowweee" – but didn't encourage her horse to change course – and I squeezed between it and the hedge as I searched for a low enough gear to get going again...
