Eating shit sucks. It hurts (alot) and leaves your pushie looking less than ‘shiny and new’.<\/p>\n

Had my first decent ‘off’ @ the Alice Springs velodrome during friday nights club meet (next level up of ‘off’ from the infamous Rossi v Beans ‘off’ on Elizabeth Street last year).\u00a0 I had just crossed the line at the end of a flying 200 and was swinging up to wash off speed when I clipped the fence at the top of the bank\u00a0with my pedal. This threw me and the bike head first into the fence (post). My helmet took the brunt of\u00a0the spill being cracked in\u00a0two and my shoulder\u00a0followed through next… rag-dolled down the steep 37degree bank leaving a \u00a0trail of jersey, bib knicks and skin behing me. Shaving your legs really does work as my legs were totally intact, unlike my arms, bum and shoulder that were all now bleeding profusely.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of the onlookers I did walk away from this crash.. only to keel over a few minutes later when the adrenalin wore off. Took a trip to Alice outpatients and yep, I’d been broken. Bloody shoulder blade. Too cranky to write anymore..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
