You got off this time but next time, who knows?
Do get a new helmet.
Hadn't thought about a new helmet. Thanks for the reminder about that. The responsibilities do weigh on my mind. I'm constantly trying to find the balance between needing to be there for the kids - today & in the future - and role-modelling that life's a journey & when we act from fear, we often don't go far. It's the scary &/or hard stufff - physically & emotionally - that leads to the greatest rewards and fulfillment. My greatest hope is that I raise my children to be bold. My parents gave me that gift, funny how it's Mum who is now suggesting I become more cautious.

Zen Century - I hugged my boys & hubby - Don't need an excuse to hug them, they won't always want me to in a few years!
Crazycanuk - was around the bays in Wellington - roads probably similar quality to AUK

Now - how do I justify riding tomorrow??? I think that I might not get away with that & stay married!!!
