Rough weekend on bike

(some TE ladies said that blood type is useless because hospital would be mandated to check it before they give you transfusions anyway - but I have it on mine anyway) is important.

I'll say that Aussie Ladies it's definatley useless writing your blood type down on a saddle pack etc

In an emergency you'll be given O- blood until they get confirmation of your blood type at the hospital. So if you're type O- get your arse to the red cross and donate cause it's your blood more often than not that save's lives. including Premi-babies. In fact that's the only type of blood given to babies.

(I'm O+ and that's slightly less important because if there's a limisited supply of O-, then O+ is used in emergencies on men... But not women (unless they're post menopausal))

Okay... so my blood banking rant is over.

Suzie I'm proud of you for getting up. But that sounds like a serious knock! The last time I was concust I was hit in the head at an indoor soccer match. Although I saved a goal, I had absolutley no co-ordination for the rest of the day. I'd start walking then just TRIP over my own feet. After a 4 hour sleep I woke up and just felt sick. BF didn't leave me alone for a second. I really should've gone to the hospital or at least a GP the next day. But yeah... I must've looked pretty drunk thinking about how things were going from my perspective.

Ice is your friend.

As for riding in the wet... I can't bring myself to do that yet on my roadie.

Train tracks?? Yikes!!!

SPDs are difficult to get the hang of. If you're still having trouble go back to your LBS and get them to check the tension. The other thing is the weights. If the pedal doesn't "flip" so that the ring part is pointing up and the square weight is down then there's something wrong that needs servicing

After my crash about a month ago, I was having headaches every 2-3 days. I knew it was probably from the whiplash in my neck, but I still went to the doctor, after 2 weeks. When my colleagues at work noticed me rubbing my head, I decided it was time to go. They gave me the standard neurological tests and I passed, but I still went for a CAT scan. He said I could have had bleeding in my brain, just be safe. Everything was fine, but I would rather know for sure. I was more of a wreck worrying about the headaches, even though I had no other symptoms and I remembered everything. So, PLEASE get checked out.
