gone fishing

last year i started trying my hand at fishing and found that it is not as easy as it looked....not so much the fishing part...... but the 'catching' bit.
lately i have got  up early on a saturday and rode off onto the sunrise to attempt catching 'the big one' only to discover that 'it' is still asleep at that time of the morning....that is the only explanation for the absence of success.                                      

                                          sunrise from my fishing spot


well today i was certain i had 'it' beat......the odds were stacked in my favour....this could not be another catchless day.
as the beautiful sun rose i rode towards the sea.......nearer to the'big one'.......as i approached close to where i fish i saw little orange cones along the road.
had the word got out????were the crowds expecting me????were they here to cheer me on???? i drew closer to my fishing spot ...and ..yip there they were waiting!!!

but not for me!

they were there to start a road race .....and that put pay to my fishing.....and also gave 'the big one' another day as i did not even have the chance to load my fishing rod!
