Had my first ride in yonks. Thrunton woods. All went well considering until the last run down to the car park. It's a trail I have only riden once- last winter. Tonight it was bone dry and fast. Too fast. It got seriously steep at one point and I got out of phase on the braking bumps and took a huge tumble over the bars. By the time I came to rest I was some distance from the bike. Now sat with a bag of frozen peas on my wrist to get the swelling down. It's the same wrist I did at Thunton last year. Apart from that just a few cuts, bruises and dented pride.
Getting too old for this shit.
