Title: Animals on the road
Post by: Old Steve on March 02, 2015, 04:59:20 PM

Got my bike back from the shop Saturday morning and peeled off a hundred km or so just to get reacquainted.

Was riding across North Mackay near the river when I noticed that the cars coming towards me were slowing and stopping.  I eased off, then noticed the hazard and stopped.

Two ducks with half a dozen very tiny ducklings were waddling across the road.  They just don't have any road sense at all!

We were only held up for 30 seconds or so, but I noticed that when the cars started up from the other direction all the drivers were grinning and all of them waved to me.  And despite them being on four wheels, I must admit I waved back.

Just be prepared for the wildlife out there.

The things you see when you don't have a shot gun.  :fp

Lionel, why would you want to shoot grinning drivers?
