Jesus Lee, I hope you're not too badly injured. I hope you can make a speedy recovery for IOW.
Were the police involved, are you a British cycling member? They have insurance and can take up the paperwork for you. New bike on your way

 

[CXRAndy]

How are you getting home?

Wow that's bad I presume they have done tests for concussion.

 

[berty bassett]

Yes member of the bc
Should be fine for IOW
Just cuts and grazes mostly
Luckily my head took most of it
Brother should be coming up to get me
Don't know what happens now ?
Police paramedic and ambulance turned up so got a number but don't know what I do first
Phone police , phone bc or wait for police to phone me
Usually just get up , rub me elbow and get on with it

What accident ?

 

[Breedon]

Your head

 

[bobinski]

Gawd Lee, that's what comes if being so light no one can see you!
Hope you heal quickly. You going to ache tomorrow. Any signs of concussion, sickness etc left yourself back to the hospital.

Your head

6.45 sunshine and showers

Maybe just an elaborate excuse for following a 135 mile ride then 65 mile ride and today just one mile.. Seriously I'm glad to hear you're OK.

I did the P Race today and it was a good, hard race. There were 21 starters in the C Race and as usual it was quite a quick start.

Very quickly it reduced to around 12 at the front. It was the flat Watopia route, but at each of the small rises, you had to hit 4-5 w/kg to avoid getting dropped. 2/3 of the way in, 3 riders went off the front. looking at their stats I figured they were above C and let them go. I was part of a group of 5 behind them. We stayed together for a while then with 1.6 miles to go, I used my featherweight powerup on the last incline and hit 5-6 w/kg. It worked and I was left with one rider who caught me.

With 0.6 miles to go, he went for it and held 5-6 w/kg all the way. I hung on but couldn't pass him especially when he used his streamline powerup.
The initial results showed me 5th but 2nd legal finisher. The final results have just come out and I appear to have got the Gold for 1st legal. In any event, it was a fun race - my ftp is not moving but my ability to burn matches and then recover around threshold is definitely getting better,
