Crash !

I put my Trail bike on the back of the truck, hitched up the caravan and headed to the Peak District for the weekend.

On Saturday I set off with a map to explore some of the local minor roads and green lanes on the bike. The roads were fantastic and I was having a great time until I got a bit carried away and was faced with 12’’ deep ruts on a downhill stretch and I was carrying a bit too much speed ...

I didn’t bounce, or roll, I just hit the ground hard, as did the bike. Damage was minimal and I considered myself lucky. The bike has a broken mirror and hand-guard and I had a cracked rib and a loose tooth. That put paid to anymore fun and I took the quickest way back to the campsite to nurse my wounds.

Next time less speed, more concentration and I’ll be wearing my body armour !
