Driving in SA


Yesterday while on my way to ice-skating, I had to take a hard packed dirt road for about 7km.
In the beginning everything was just great and dandy. Then a terrible cloud appeared on the
horizon, and the ground started to shake and rumble. A dreaded shape took dusky form, and I
was enveloped in choking dust. It was in my eyes, ears, nose, you name it. I spluttered and
weaved, trying to clear my eyes. Of course, just then, another car comes racing up behind me
(doing about 300km/ph) and thundered past, leaving comet sized rocks to smash into my face
and arms. Filled with sandy indignation, I determined then and there that its Time For All to 
Be Exposed. Perhaps even, if I get broadcasted widely enough, I'll have cyclers across the globe sending me emails of immense gratitude for saving them from this ordeal.

The lovely country roads we enjoy in South Africa often tend to be dirt or sand. And I think drivers go way too fast, without care for pedestrians or others using the “pad”. So to spread awareness for my fellow human beings plights, (and vent my frustration) I thought to start a new blog (yes, another one.) and try keep it going ;)
