Great ride North of Romsey. Subtitled: bruised and a battered ego
Up through Hursley, then up towards Farley Church, Michelmersh, then decided not to head round to Totton as I didn't fancy the hills! So cut back to Romsey. Was going pretty quickly and having some good flow back down Lee Lane. Just was feeling a bit tired on the hills (post yesterdays strength work).
Went over my handlebars at some traffic lights. I am an idiot. Got confident and was going too fast. The cars in front didn't pull away as quickly as I expected. Lots of lessons learnt! The driver stopped and checked I was okay (which was a pleasant surprise from the usual road users). All my fault and maybe need to practice breaking at high speed! Newly replaced rear break and got used to over using the front break recently probably didn't help. Only bruised hands and hip, very lucky.
