Going down preston single track (it rocks :twisted: ) Just got into the black soil part after the rock garden switchback. Building up speed when handlebar LH hit tree :cry: Smacked shoulder into tree. Broke collar bone, chipped shoulder, tore ligaments and tendon thingies, massive bruising and off work for 1 month
. The worst bit was walking to top of track, going in and out of consiousness. Got to hospital and waited for ages, spewing up all the time, the nurse could not understand my pain, "it's only a broken collar bone!" (B!*ch!)
Lesson: do not take panadol when offered by the (stupid) nurses on arrival to emergency, for some reason the doc can't give you morphine if you have taken a panadol :evil: Serves us all right for riding mountain bikes though doesn't it.
