Pain from somewhere i didn't expect...

There i was happily riding along one of my favourite routes, along some lovely quiet country lanes, look down at my computer to see how i'm doing when suddenly my whole left arm is in agony.
It turns out there was a big thorney branch hanging out into the road, so i spent the next mile slowly picking out 14 (yes i'm sad i counted them) thorns out of my arm and bleeding all over the place.
Just didn't see it coming! lol, or expect it for that matter!
So the moral of the story is 27mph(it was down hill, i'm not a Hero), a thorny branch and an arm = pain, FACT.

Wow, thats a nasty one Alan, I have never had the misfortune of cycling into a thorn bush, and it sounds as though I want to avoid it!
Any of the cuts nasty enough to scar? You could get some decent "man points" if they do

a couple of them are going to be around for a while, but hopefully won't scar!
put it this way if they all scar, i'll look like some sort of self harmer... lol0 -
ah ok, not the best look,fingers crossed they will heal up without scaring. Strangely, after reading this, cycling home I got "hit" by a bush that got blown back in the wind, fortunately no thorns though, more of a tickle!

I got a neck full of thorns once as a lad of about 14. Took mother a little while to be convinced it wasn't love bites (of which she thoroughly disapproved). Ha. Chance would've been a fine thing.0
