Notable ride for two reasons: 1) I went for a ride and 2) I had an altercation with a crazy horse lady who needed to use me to vent her lifelong frustration at cyclists in general, in particular those who ride along the busy public road which she thinks is a bridle trail. I got told off for not slowing down (I did), for not having a bell (I have a bell), for not talking to her horse (I am not a crazy horse lady), for riding along the road All The Time (it was the third time in two years) and for being just as bad as that other cyclist who snuck up on her before (which was me, five min earlier, when she was 5m off the road and I slowed down and said hi anyway). I think my biggest mistake was stopping to chat.
So anyway it was a beautiful day for a ride, crazy people or not. I am looking forward to riding there again, ringing my bell loudly and shouting "yooooo hoooo" at horses to keep them nice and relaxed.
