Its happening all around me. People are coming off their bikes left right and centre. A lady I work with who we describe as a christmas tree on 2 wheels was knocked off by a policeman!! Yep, you heard me right. Crazy. Then on the weekend my other half was riding along and managed to go into a corner just that bit too quick, found a bit of gravel, and have a look at the result!
Poor boy. However, Im still yet to work it out, but the brand new Liquigas Team gear he was wearing for only the second time... the worst it had on it was blood and grease. No holes, no tears, nothing. Amazing. He was another story though, holes and tears in his shoulder, back, hand, and hip.... he's presently sporting a 20cm bruise across his hip, which for someone who never bruises is impressive to say the least.
As for me. Safetly on the saddle. I did my ride (maxed at 61km/hr coming down the hill and the whole time was thinking DONT COME OFF, DONT COME OFF, DONT COME OFF!!) tackled some decent hills and a headwind. Completed my 50km's and still felt good. Its a shame I didn't have the time to keep going, as I think I had another 20ish km's in my legs yet. All fares well for the TDU ride.
Exciting. I have been able to ride to work regularly now too which helps me heaps. So todays plan... ride in, run home, gym tomorrow morning then ride home tomorrow night. Its great. After all the injuries and hassles Ive been having to finally get back to some decent exercise is wonderful.
Time ticks away though, every day Im closer to getting my ankle recon, so I best make the most of the time I have hey? Before I have to sit tight for 3 months!
