riding to Scorton

todays bike ride proved eventful. firstly we were cycling against an audax race and were almost taken over by a peleton coming towards us. next a tractor and muck truck passed by leaving me a little splattered. riding through Scorton village a tractor and rotary tedders passed by and the rotavators swung across hitting me on the hand. fortunately it was right next to a first aid station for the audax - no real damage. lastly we were heading home and l passed 3 audax riders going up a hill - the leader shouted, 'for f-'s sake we have just been passed by an old woman.' - that made me go faster. 35miles today and am really liking the bike - l need to buy more tops and then l wouldn't have to wash it so often.
