Red face Things Happen in Threes

Hi all great to be back (had trouble loging in computer problems !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Do you believe things happen in threes? So far this year two riders have come off on ride outs one was very seriously injured. Now my dilemma is that there is one final ride out organised by R.A.T, usually about 10 to 12 riders take part now I know the odds are in my favour. So do I challenge fate, do I stay at home or do I go my own way.

Stay Home?!!!!

If you are going to stay home because something might happen then you need to go ahead and hang up your riding boots.

I dunno...

I can't say I've never called off a ride because it just didn't feel right. You don't have to hang up your boots because you skip one ride. But you can't let your life be ruled by superstition, either.

I'd say ride as much as you can between now and then to make sure you're in good practice and your confidence is high, and then go for it.

Ride ..

It will be one of the others if it is anybody at all.

Make sure that you don't ride faster than your guardian angel though.

The faster you ride the truer the superstition. (Truer? Where'd that come from?)
