This time of year you need to be extra alert. Many drivers just haven't got the message about drink driving. I am working this week, but I think out office building will be closed for maintenance so will have to work from home. I may just do a commute on the M7 bike path, but even that has it's fair share of issues. School holidays means bogans on trail bikes tearing up the paths (latest photo from this week has three masked guys on one bike). A couple of months ago another rider came within mm of being hit by a car that had crashed off the M7 roadway, jumped the culvert and ended up airborne over the bike path.
Anyway, I'd normally be smashing out the Festive 500, but I hit my yearly goal with time to spare, and with the two guys from my club fresh in my mind, I am just taking it easy. I have my first big ride on Jan 4th for my Audax YRR, and not long after that there will be two funerals to attend.
