Crashpian

I was doing a bit of afterwork training for the Molesworth x-country race in a couple of weeks; riding up on Godley head (hills on the edge of town, overlooking the sea) with Rowan. Lost my front wheel on a bit of gravel (Gravel! Come on! Why would anyone put gravel down in the bush??) and used the not-so-popular Front Elbow Brake™ and back Knee Brake to scrub my speed. I spent most of the night being cleaned up in hospital, and acting as a pin cushion for a lovely trainee nurse practicing her suturing. I hope my 6 (plus the 3 or 4 that had to be taken out that weren't quite right) helped her training. Hopefully it doesn't screw everything up.
