Slide
Ow. I managed to come off my road bike this afternoon (here) whilst I was out on my long ride. It started to rain and the roads got a wee bit greasy and I put the bike down going round a tight corner. I wasn't even going too fast but the back wheel just slid right out beneath me.
Luckily, there was no real harm done. I have a very ugly looking graze below my hip and my knee and ankle are cut but my bike managed to avoid any major damage - just a scrape on the left brake lever and the rear quick release (which is just new as well, boo).
Anyway, that was the "highlight" of my training weekend, which was pretty hard. 18 mile run yesterday and 50 miles on the bike today. I didn't feel great yesterday (lack of sleep) but got round ok but I felt much better today. One more hard week before I have a bit of a rest. I have to trust my plan is going to work, since I'm following it closely. Seems to be working so far.
