I'm just back from a weeks riding in Spain and France with my dad and uncle. I'll put together a quick write up and explain some of where we went, as we found some amazing roads, scenery and hospitality along the way, but thought I would share this little clip first.
We were riding along quite steadily by some major roadworks when a lump of rock came off a tipper lorry coming the other way. We knew it was close, but didnt realise the full extent until we saw the video!
Close Call with a rock
That could've been bad!
That was close.
woah, that could've been reallllly nasty
definately one of those hope and pray moments..
Blimey you were lucky
Eye waterer !
Lucky!
Underlines again that no matter how defensively you ride and how much training you do there are still incidents that will come up that can't be avoided and, as we all know, you're a lot more vulnerable hanging out in the air even with out much trusted high tech, armoured kit. Mo'sicklin is still a tad dangerous.
Pleased to see this one didn't have your name on it
Reminds me of when I went over a kerb-stone that had fallen off a lorry at night, doing 60mph and on a bend!
My guardian angel was with me that night........!!!
