Still feeling wrecked. Am kind of wondering whether it's related to (an unpleasant road related incident)
spoiler
an accident yesterday. I was riding home and had to u-turn as there had been accident involving a motorcyclist just several minutes before. I didn't see anything, but I saw the bobbing of a head and I knew they were desperately doing CPR. A witness said they'd been trying for 5 mins and didn't know when the ambulance would arrive. They were on the way when I was riding back in the opposite direction. The news reported that he died at the scene. I'm trying not to think about it, but it's hard since I ride there almost weekly. I mean, I know that it can happen anywhere, but most people on the weekends are sort of chill. It is a winding 60km that increases to 80km, but most people on the weekends take it pretty easy. Hell, I rode Black Spur yesterday and one of the drivers was literally driving half the speed limit. sigh Just that constant reminder of life.Sorry, just needed to offload it.
Edit: Oh no. The spoiler isnβt working on mobile? Iβm so sorry. π
It's hard to witness, your feelings are valid. Make sure you take care of yourself, self-care. Sending you good vibes
Thanks, StudSpud. I guess I didn't really realise how it might have affected me. I had a pretty bad sleep last night and didn't put two and two together.
