Crashes Keep On Coming

Hillingdon 6th January 2010, 1st race of the season. I was in the elite race. We had been only going about 20 minutes or so when somebody crashed and it caused me to slam my foot to the ground re- whiplashing my neck... so here i am back to the start of last week. Fortunatly I will now be racing again this week.

An Eventful Weekend

Well the last weekend of January should have been a good weekend of training with a track session at calshot on Saturday and a 114k reliability ride on the Sunday with some top elite riders. Saturday started of good my legs felt fine for the session but when i got up on the boards my bike didnt feel right at all, the back wheel felt like the tire was going to roll and i couldn't corner properly! I later found out that this was due to a puncture which i had no idea how I got. Sunday... a usual early start but I still managed to get to the meeting point on some icey roads at bellow zero tempratures. We had been riding quickly for about an hour at a quick pace, i was climbing well when we hit some black sheet ice and about 12 people (including myself) came off. I hit my side hard and then my head (luckily i had a hemet on). I was taken to hospitol and they said i have whiplash to my neck so here I am after spending a chunk of my Sunday being spent at Mount Vernon A&E writing this with a severly stiff neck and an aching and bruised side.
