n_maher Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Be a defensive rider. Saved my ass the other day (quite literally) as I watched someone approach the main road from the side, look, see no cars, and promptly pull out in front of me. If I hadn't been already preparing to brake hard and avoid the collision it likely would have ended poorly for me the bike t-boning into the side of the otherwise immoveable car. Cranked out some relatively hard miles yesterday in one of the last major efforts of training before the century in less than two weeks. The tailwind for the first 17 miles was nice. The punch in the face for the last 12 miles, not so much. But all around a nice ride. 2 1 Quote
TMoney Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Makes sense. If anything, I think my Motorsport experience helps quite a bit with awareness of other road users. I also plan on joining the local bike club and doing group rides with them as soon as I’m sure I can handle the pace and distance and have the bike control to not ram into the person in front of me 🙃 Quote
