Stupidest thing this weekend – I presume Friday counts?
Pedalled really hard whilst leaning right over going around a roundabout. Idiot.
I’ve worked out after what probably happened as until the 2nd or 3rd roll looking back at my bike I can’t remember anything. Obviously the new bike has a lower BB and I was shifting faster than I thought.
Massive gouge on the right hand pedal where it struck into the road and threw me off to the left, landed on my open left hand as its bruised and really sore (dhb mitts are badly scuffed but the skin on my hand is intact). Rolled around to land on my right shoulder (scuffs and massive bruise) and rolled a bit more to smack my knee (more gravel rash and a big ugly lump). Bike scuttered along the road and the other pedal is abused along with the rear skewer, handlebar tape and LHS shifter/brake unit. Just noticed that I battered the bracelet on my watch too. I dorwned everything in witch hazel which appears to have worked quite well.
Have really ached all weekend and decided not to cycle in today to give the knee an extra days rest.
