Feel like the last three rides have almost defeated me... Got yogurt thrown off me from a car window 40km from home three rides ago, the ride after that my rear shock blew up and left me out of action for weeks, then my ride I've just been on got me covered in dog shite and abused by some other dog walkers for having the cheek to ride along a section of road...

Seriously losing my mind now!

Perhaps they were just pointing out that you were covered in shite and you misheard!!

Seriously though bad things come in threes so your next ride will be ace! 🙂

That does sound pretty shit tbf.
Surely though, things can’t get much worse, so you’re odds on for a good one?

I totally sympathise, although not quite to the same level of unpleasantness. Had a few screwed up rides of late although not 3 back to back.

It only takes one good ride to reset me and because I'm riding time poor I tend to forget the frustrations by the time I get to play again.

Next one will (probably) be better . 🙂

It's ended. They come in threes. Time to enjoy!

Move to Spain, cyclists are treated as normal people and not some sort of freaks

I can only counter this with every ride lately has been awesome. ESPECIALLY the last three.

So by that measure, you're due a good one and I'm due a monumental disaster 😬
