daughter questions the safety of my night rides
« on: April 02, 2025, 02:59:13 PM »
....and not for the first time.


She happened to look over my shoulder at this photo, pointed and said, "Dad!, I can see SlenderMan standing right down there waiting for you!"


and, "in there is where you'll get murdered!" she said.






Once I did have a bit of a moment when - behind me, from out of the dark - came a large potato shaped man in a wife-beater with a hammer in his hand (maybe it was the morning paper?) He was flanked by two pit-bulls.
In his best Deliverance voice, he whispered, "watcha doo'n?"

I'm thinking if I answer that truthfully he's going to go, "take him boys!"

I braced for their attack and said, "I'm taking pictures of the moon."

He grunted and didn't kill me after all with the morning paper.
I don't stop along his farm these days.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

First response that springs to mind is "and how many murderers get up as early in the morning as Stig?"!

You'd be at more risk riding around a large UK city mid-afternoon these days TBF
Regards & ride safe,
