Got clipped this morning on a training ride on the Annandale Rd, Stellenbosch.

Slight thump and dull pain of the left shoulder by the left mirror of a Merc Vito delivery van.

I am not sure that the driver even noticed.

 

Fortunately, slight enough to have me keep my line and not crash...

 

Stay aware and vigilant out there, Riders... :mellow:
