    might well be out on friday... anyone fancy a pre A&E tipple (topple?)

    Ah no, I got my crashing in last night thanks :shock:

    Note to self: don't carelessly cycle into a pothole on your MTB with the forks locked down for climbing. And going over the bars onto a badly rutted concrete road hurts.

    Thanks to the two ladies who stopped to see if I was ok. The first one showed me her scars from her recent bike crash :-)
    I may have been a little brusque with the second who said "at least you were wearing a helmet" - as I stood there bleeding from knees, elbows and shoulders but with nary a scratch on the lid !

    I checked with the GF, a trainee nurse, she told me I needed muscle relaxant.
    A large GnT not only eases the pain but the cold glass can be used to ice the bruises :-)

    I'm developing a very strange handlebar-shaped bruise on my torso; I think I can even make out the brake lever !

    That must have been one hell of a pothole to throw you off an MTB regardless of lockout status. :shock:

    It is! It's not so much a pothole as a ditch right across the road, it's up to 6" deep in places.

    Sadly I can't pretend that it's the council's fault - the hole's been there for years, I normally use it for bunny-hopping practice (or ride round it on the footpath if on the roadie). I was distracted, not paying attention, BANG!

    That's not a rash....

    It's ketchup - you just haven't showered yet as you want to keep yourself just as I left you - slut

    @ITB: Not sure if you'd check back on the classified section, so, about that Mercian frame: Morpeth this Friday evening?

    My biggest problem at the moment is i'm not riding what with the duff shoulder and all, if it would just stop raining here for 5 mins I might get a chance to see if I still can.

    I'll let you know later today.

    Sorry, forgot about the shoulder. As I have the weekend fairly free (I don't think the builder would appreciate me looking over his shoulder all weekend), I could 'pop' down to Windshire if need be, or some mutually agreeable midpoint.

    Friday will be MTB with comfy long travel front suspension and rolled up jeans natch!

    What? Can't a chap meet a chap about a bike? It's not like it's a secret rendezvous - Greg T would never allow it.
