It was good riding on a wide shoulder. In the last section the shoulder was officially closed, but I rode on it anyway. One unexpected thing happened. I was tooted by many cars. Friendly double toots. Strangely the only cars to toot were 4WDs and cars with P Plates. After King Georges Road, I rode along the Linear Park, though looking at the map I now see that it extends further along the motorway. I then headed up and\u00a0 over through Hughes Park to the Cup and Saucer Creek down to the Cooks River. This was an exciting route to follow in the dark as in many places you are in the dark and the only light is that from the trikes lights, which I am sad to say were not up to the task. At one time I was sideways going over some unseen lumps in the track caused by tree roots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/4255819395\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3137\" title=\"GT3 on M5\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/GT3-on-M5.jpg\" alt=\"GT3 on M5\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><!--more-->So, let P be the number of P Platers, F the number of 4WDs, V the number of vehicles per hour, p the proportion of P platers who too, f the proportion of 4WDs who toot and v the proportion of vehicles who toot.
