Getting it wrong

[Buggerlugz]

Sometimes you get dragged back down to earth and realise youre maybes not as good as you think.

A few weeks agoI finished work and was heading home from a town 30 miles away, I took a road I didnt know, gets out of the built up area following 2 cars onto a country lane thats about 2 miles to the dual carriageway home.

Front car is bumbling along so as the 3 of us come around a right hander i check the horizon and theres a good stretch before a left hand bend that i can easily pass the two cars im following

I drop a cog and as I pass the first car and pull alongside the second I realise theres a blind dip in the road

Im about halfway past the lead car as I crest the dip and see a car coming the other way

I really dont know how I didnt connect with either the oncoming vehicle or the one I was overtaking, I just went onto auto pilot and pulled the car back to the right side of the road hoping Id passed the car I was going overtaking

It seems I did, however I feel like I got off lightly

I retraced the route the following day and while I can see how I missed the dip I know I was just too keen to overtake

Its subsided a bit but I felt like a tt of the highest order
