not particularly road, not particularly cycling….of all the motoring tribes, this lot really grind my gears.
You spend an hour getting away from the motor car, climbing hills, facing the all the elements can throw at you, only to find you’re expected to let pass three land rovers or whatever, churning up your trail.
On hols in west Somerset, a few days ago having walked for nearly an hour, we came across signs saying there was a motor rally in this area today.
The cleverly worded message was that although you could spectate, really you’d better clear off if you know what’s good for you – safety, you know. We didn’t actually meet any rallying cars, just two of their outriders – did we see the signs? Spoilt the day a bit.
I’m sure actual rally enthusiasts are knights of the road – at least that they’re thinking about their driving, right, but the idea of accessible production cars being used in this way on something other than a dedicated race track always worries me because there are always some impressionable types around who’ll try to copy.
