    MTFU you big girl's blouse!

    You might wish to think about how old I am - I'm twice your age, therefore by logical reasoning, I hurt twice as much as you when I fall off... :shock:

    I tried that once, my brain couldn't grasp the concept of such a large number. ;)

    Andy, MTFU little girl. :D

    It also seems to take twice as long to recover too :roll:

    Indeed. After my last major stack, at Llandegla, where I tore my ankle ligaments, I was off the bike for a whole 4 days before starting training on the exercise bike again! :cry:

    Granted I did have another stack after this, last September, when I apparently fractured my clavecle, but as I didn't notice that and kept on riding for a good 3 months afterwards, we won't count that one... :wink:

    I had a major high speed stack yesterday right in front of Chris.

    But I'm awesome, so I didn't even bruise.

    Pffft, I was twice your age when I did this.. to my right leg
    Happened at 4PM on Saturday, discharged from Hospital on Monday afternoon
    Attended a meeting at work (126 miles away and I drove) on Wednesday and drove back (in my Land Rover Defender that has nice wide spaces between the pedals)

    Rode my bike 91 days later once the ROM brace was removed...

    It was impressive. I thought you were going to die from that one.
