Could have waited 1 minute until getting over the hill. I guess some people are in more of a hurry than worrying about there own saftey. I don't really care if they kill them selves but these are the type of people usually hurt other around them.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-51759219313057178932012-06-12T20:03:43.705+10:002012-06-12T20:03:43.705+10:00If it was a total unsafe and uncalled for over tak...If it was a total unsafe and uncalled for over take then yeah I'd have words with him to. I usually check my mirrors often and if someone closes in on me on a winding road i'll generally wave them by and not hold them up, so they continue their good ride and I continue mine.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-72337108236669495922012-06-12T19:59:34.738+10:002012-06-12T19:59:34.738+10:00That would be interesting but I think my monotone ...That would be interesting but I think my monotone voice would put people to sleep.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-5940905298422693912012-06-12T19:58:53.931+10:002012-06-12T19:58:53.931+10:00You have definetly got to ride tassie at least onc...You have definetly got to ride tassie at least once before you die.

It may of been just a one off stupid moment.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048736059922578612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-83349054595641390832012-06-12T01:54:11.560+10:002012-06-12T01:54:11.560+10:00I can see how you guys were exhausted from that ma...I can see how you guys were exhausted from that many days of riding. We usually have to limit ours to 3 nights, 4 days to be home for the cat. If he was social we could have someone house sit, but he doesn't like many people.<br /><br />Great pictures and great roads. Thanks for taking the time to do the ride report.<br /><br />It is scary when someone decides to overtake when there isn't a clear line of sight. On a blind hill is definitely a bad choice. I am glad it turned out okay. <br /><br />Last year I had another rider pass me (too close for comfort) on the left side around a blind right hand corner and if a vehicle had of been coming I am sure he would have tried to push me and my bike into the rock face to save his own hide. That was not a good experience either. We happened to be heading to the same place on the coast and Troubadour (who was riding behind me and saw the whole thing) had a few choice words to say to him when we arrived.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-50301346232781058762012-06-11T23:09:13.958+10:002012-06-11T23:09:13.958+10:00Great write up and pics.

I think that I will buy a digital voice recorder prior to my next big trip just so I can record a few notes at night.Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-61239598389910634522012-06-11T22:26:57.212+10:002012-06-11T22:26:57.212+10:00Thanks for sharing your trip Chiller.
