Bits of the Cotswolds are lovely but as you've experienced a lot of its chocolate box charm does draw in a lot of ignorant and rude drivers as everyone flocks to Broadway, or Stowe on the Wold, or Bourton on the Water... Avoid places like that and it's a nice place to ride around.

This was the route. I actually found a lot of the scenery a bit monotonous. Pretty villages but nothing breathtaking in terms of scenery.

Out picking blackberries on the CRF. Up the Fosse Way. You can reach a lot further into the bushes when you're protected by bike kit. Didn't stop my hands gettting scratched to bits. Also didn't protect me from the lecture from a hoity toity woman up a horse who has never seen a motorbike on the byway so thinks they're not allowed. I assured her it as all checked out and mapped and classed as a "BOAT", but turns out she just wanted to give someone a condescending lecture and is convinced that if she thinks something then it must be law.
I was very pleasant about the whole thing and tried not to react. The whole reason she was even able to talk to me is that I try to be as courteous as possible and always stop and kill my engine to let horses pass. I soon realised that everything she said was laced with anti bike predjudice. In her eyes I was probably just another one of those Hell's Angels.... out picking blackberries.

Still had a good morning out though. Being able to get away onto remote paths away from everyone the last few months has been perfect. Very glad I've got the CRF. Still loads of fun on the roads too.

I really don't get these condescending miserable ****s. There's no reasoning with them.

Have you seen the video that lead to the charges against the vicars wife and accomplice leaving traps on mtb routes?

DarrenSV650S · 02-09-20, 06:59 PM

Looks great Adam. Did you ask her if she picked up her horse ****?

Got a link Dave?
