Mountain biking 45:00 [3]
(injured)
With E at Cambus. Went up the big track and left down the reverse of the Cambus canters from the top corner, then turned right up towards Cambus quarries to explore some of the single track we found the other day. Was really nice and not too technical. E declared it boring but I made him go back up to do a second loop.Half way round the loop there is an avoidable jump but to try and liven things up for E I suggested he had a go at it. He did, and then of course told me I had to do it. So I did. Result was a big crash landing fair and square on my head (thank god for the helmet) with blood gushing uncontrollably out of my nose. With E's help and a lump of moss clamped over my nose managed to get back to the car, load up, and drive single handedly down to Aboyne minor injuries unit. Got mopped up and sent home with some painkillers. Doc reckoned I might have avoided breaking my nose but only time will tell. Apart from the oversize nose the rest of my face is bruising up nicely now and is going to look classy tomorrow. Upper back and neck also feeling a bit jarred and stiff but could have been a lot worse tbh.
