I came off my push bike yesterday :-( Rookie mistake. Going along at a fair pace on a quiet country lane, lost concentration for a second and didn't notice a big bump. Hit the bump too fast and tumbled off. Only cosmetic damage to both me and the bike. Skinned both elbows and one knee. Couple of cuts and bruises. Broke a mounting bracket for my trip computer (only fitted the day before!) and cracked the casing on my gear indicator. Bit.sore after but thankful. It was a wake up call that riding a bike needs as much concentration as driving a car. More in some cases! It also reminded me what it feels like.to be a kid and graze yourself in a fall. I needed plasters, TLC and a treat. Only difference is the sweets have been superseded by a glass of Famous Grouse :-)

Having slept since, the only soreness is on my elbows and one I didn't notice yesterday, a very badly bruised toe on my left foot. I think I may lose a nail on my right hand. The end of my ring finger is swollen and the nail is cracked. Not particularly painful but a bit stiff. The Grouse must have worked its magic!
