I'm Back!

Avast! It's been a while since my crash in Wales back in April, but the body has healed and the bike has been fixed. The majority of the wait has been due to a knackered wrist; I must of done something odd to it on the way down the hill but its been a major source of discomfort. Even now, typing this its started aching...

Using the throttle of the motorcycle presents no problems but the forces going through the wrist when braking on the MTB where more than it could handle...

FastForward to mid June and im all good to go for my first offroad ride since the accident. I had been a little worried that my confidence would be shattered and I'd be riding like a goat, but I was very pleased by my turn of pace and I still kept up on the techinical sections; although a few new additions caught me out! Still got some work to do before the 12 hour race end of July, but I havnt fallen behind as much as I feared...just got to keep the pedals turning as much as possible between now and then. And pray for dry weather!

I'll post another update next week, Im hoping to get out and enjoy the long evenings before it all starts closing in again!
