On the way to work I fell off my bike.
A local lady let her toddler toddle into the road outside Hall Green library just as I was rounding the bend at 19mph. I pulled on the brakes causing the bike to slip from under me and shoot out to the left. I landed on my right shoulder. The lady commented, "Oh, it's pretty slippery there."
I commented that a child in the road was an additional hazard.
My right arm stiffended up immediately but it wasn't very painful.
About 7 hours later, when I'm beginning to get ready to go home, the whole of my right arm is aching and all the muscles in the left side of my neck are incredibly tender. I have an ache just on the left side of my face. I guess I went down harder than I thought...
In the evening, I meet my mate for a couple of pints and then head home for another bottle of ale and to grab a handful of sweets because I'm incredibly hungry.
Oh well, a crap day for training.
