One of those days I think. Went on the cycle paths to our supermarket. To get to the cycle path there is about 3/4 mile on the road first. First thing, idiot car driver comes right out in front of me at a junction (I had right of way). I vaguely know her and she is, well, a bit thick. Still, 30 odd years on the road, some of that as a professional driver and you look out for such things happening. The brakes on my bike are good

Second thing was on the cycle path. Saw this blooming great dog bounding towards me. Owner calls it back. Dog ignores owner. I'm not afraid of dogs as I have a GSD. This was a very large Rottweiller Second emergency stop of the day Owner catches up with said dog, apologises, says the dog is only a baby (about 112 lbs of dog you may care!) then proceeds to tell me it's a bit nervous about people on bikes as there is a girl near where they live who rides a bike and hits the dog with a stick. So why is the dog running loose on a cycle path without a lead if it doesn't like people on bikes? I noticed the chap didn't have a lead for the dog either Some people are sooooo stupid.

Never mind. Tomorrow is another day.
