one finger post to tell you all to wear your helmets.
going down a nice wee sandy slope to the river-bank trail failed to negotiate a bend and over the top to land on my head, bike on top of me. phoned home and the s.o. brought the van from his work. off to the local hospital -under protest of course. damage - 2 sprained fingers, bruising and rash and a broken nose. helmet went pfffft on impact and suffered 4 puncture wounds from the big-ring, front wheel buckled.
under the influence of ibuprofen so feel fine but stiff. ice, arnica, tea-tree oil and rest and quiet should see me right by monday.
best bit - orthopod specially called to check out scruffy kiwi gives me the all over and when he realises he is dealing with a mono-tit says "have you had an operation?" no, doctor, i'm an amazon warrior!
