Pretty cool they closed the roads off for your tour. Any cute soigneurs to hand you your musette, and give you a post ride rub down?

No...but I did have at least 5 attempts on my life from motorists today. They varied from "I'm going to overtake you in my 4WD and then suddenly turn left", to "I'm in a mad hurry in my high performance Corolla and I need to get around this intersection... I can't see you, I can't see you", to finally "We're a car load of boguns (disguised as hipsters) in a hotted up civic and we're going to cut the corner really close to you and yell abuse at you". Fuck me... I don't know how people can enjoy road riding.

It was a shit game of Russian roulette, 30/40 years ago. Now it's a certified mental illness. Can't see it improving.
