Keswick Lakes bike ride 2012




I think my age (hopefully not MD) may be catching up with me ;-), for the first hour of the bike I was fine, then on a down hill section my front wheel hit a rut and I went flying over the bars and landed quite heavily. After that I was quite shaky and after another hour my neck was in agony and I couldn't lift my head to ride my bike. We had a rest as the other 4 lads were all up for going back to the cottage with me. But I told them to carry on the ride because there was no point in them all missing out. Gutted but it was the right decision for me, my neck was in a bad way but taking the flat road back to Keswick gave me an easier time than the rocky hills would have. I'm going to have 2 weeks off the bike and then see how it goes. Other than that a good weekend, lungs were pretty clear (after the ABs last week) and we had some great weather as well...
