Minus Side - Having the back wheel go out from under me on a corner and hitting the deck in front of said Cycle Club.

Plus Side - It was a slow corner and Bike is unharmed.

Minus Side - Hip now has a lump like grapefruit, elbow looks like it's been attacked by a cheese grater and wrist is extremely sore if I move it wrong.

You lost your licence or something?

Commiserations. But consider that your heart and lungs engine room is in superb shape in spite of your surface injuries.

Glad you are OK (ish). I had a slide last year on a wet roundabout. Still got the scars but like you, the bike was ok!

Sucks. Sorry to hear you are in pain. Tricky time of year for cycling, hence the turbo trainer.

Hope a few whiskeys helps, and you don't hurt too bad in the morning.

Plus Side - You've remembered that particularly fine bottle of whisky at home.
