In praise of Truck drivers.

Untill today I have never ridden a bike on a busey road. So I ventured onto the A614 for the last 8 , km of my duathlon training.(20 km bike ride ). The average car driver scared the poop out of me but the truckers steered well into the middle of the road giving me masses of room. Thanks guys. ( Witnessed by Rita my wife who dutily followed me in the car for all ,20,km. thanks Rita)

Rather you than me matey! I think it’s too dangerous. It scares the crap out of me, just the thought of it 😨

I stick to the pavement and trail

Well done Rita for being such a support 👍😃

I'm really impressed. By your daring and by having the foresight to have your wife follow yet. And good on her too! I'm glad the truckers were so considerate.
