Training - What Training?!

Hells bells Joe, things could’ve been a whole load worse.

Be kind to yourself for a few days & keep an eye out for delayed concussion.

@joex - glad to hear that you are shaken but not stirred - could have been a lot worse

Had cleaned my bike up to start doing some commuting but these sorts of tales do make me think twice

Followed the cycle course into town, catching the women’s race at various locations - a good way of taking it in I suppose

Caught them at the university, Gibson street, the climb up great George st, Charing X, the art school, bath street, the park and the university and Gibson st again lol

Swift recovery @joex

Your coming together reminded me that my neighbour had his stationary work van written off as a gentleman far more “mature and wise” than I crashed into the back of it in a 30mph zone and it was so bad his car was embedded.

Neighbour rushed out to see what had happened, saw the car door open, rushed up to have a word and saw a walking stick come out first followed by a very senor gent… scarey :thinking:

Hate to have my prejudices confirmed but Ive often posted about having driving licenses restricted between the ages of 30 and 50…:no_entry:

Well off topic, but as I don’t have a car, not in shape for running and no bikes allowed on buses means getting the bike to the bike shop is a tricky proposition. Hmm…

Muscles all good clearly:

Sim’d 45mins on the Nice course at 190W and only got 17km in. That would depress me at the WC.

Edit

Lots of sucking of teeth at the bike shop. Felt like he didn’t want to assess it after he saw the bike. Too old. Not folded in half. Not sure what reaction he wanted me to have - then he started talking about going into a legal battle and how he is regularly checked out by insurers to make sure he’s legit.

:man_shrugging:t2:

Fucksake. Why offer an insurance assessment service?
