I headed out for a quick hour on my 5.4km TT circuit.
on my way there I had my first crash. Coming up to a kink in a reasonably narrow back street (no houses just near one of those gold practice ranges) I can see in the mirror a bicycle coming the other way. So i slow down and go around right on my side of the road.
Sure enough there it is a mama chari loaded up witha kid and all right in front of me, right on my side of the road. I swerve further to my side, so does she I go the other way so does she. and boom I go right into her back wheel and off.
blood on the elbow, and hip, scratches on my bike. I yell at her and she apologises.
I should have asked her to pay for my levers and other scratched parts But I let her ride off instead.
Anyway at least nothing was broken or hurting too badly although my elbow is hurting pretty bad now, and I did get 38km in on my TT course after and hit a new PB of 34.4km/hr over the 5.4 km course so it isn't all bad...
