Quietly healed, well face anyway. Knee and elbow buggered, neck still sore, brain a bit frazzled

Just over two weeks ago, face used as a brake at about 25mph (strava says 41kph)

Back to work monday
Christ, what happened so you had to rely on your face instead of brake pads.
 
Re:

Le Grand Fromage shall now be known as Le Brake Face (LBF) :lol:

Seriously though, hope you're back to your (almost) normal self soon.

Didnt get a chance to use a brake, it looks like the chain came off, the bike went under and I went down like a sack of shit.

The bike has four scratches.

Sorry to hear that :cry:
I'm surprised no one actually asked if the bike was ok, what's the world coming to these days ? :roll:

Visiting family in Glasgow today, so I escaped the chit chat for a few laps of Cathkin Braes . it was a bit chilly :xmas-big-grin: with some great views down over Glasgow.

Last time i had a major injury/crash that kept me off the bike for more than a couple of days (22 years ago now) i snapped a frame.....

Everything since has just been relatively minor. Aches, pains, bruises, road rash, the odd cracked bone........
 
Its my first crash since my teens. Did a proper job too! Teeth missing, split lip. Am hoping to go out again soon. Have rebuilt the offending bicycle. It might be jinxed though.
