I thought I would go for a spin round the big block, only reached the first right hand bend, leaned into the corner and down I went. Absolutely nothing on the road to cause it so I can only blame the tyre shine.
Sitting here typing, with my left knuckle swelling beautifully, bark off both my knees including the titanium one, more bark off my right arm and knuckle, and sore ribs. Seeing my doctor in half an hour for a check up, but no real damage to me and not much to the bike.
I rode round the smaller block after the fall to check if the bike had any real damage, and also to make sure I hadn't lost confidence. I guess my lifetime of cycle racing and falls meant the shock factor isn't too bad.
My next test is when my wife gets home from shopping and sees me. Wish me luck.
