Ouch. How's the bike? And the badger? GWS.

Bike - Not sure. My wife and a friend picked it up from Knutsford police station yesterday.Quite fortunate really, as I was stranded in the middle of the road unable to move, a police car happened to be first on the scene.
The bike is currently in my garage. My wife and the friend told me it is OK , but neither of them cycle. A hobble along the left side of the bike is showing nothing obviously distorted, but it is my right femur, elbow and shoulder side which has been damaged. So until I get more stable and the bike on a stand so I can check over the right side of the bike, I'll not know for sure.
Badger - No idea. It didn't seem to be around afterwards. I suspect from comments made a couple of people whose cars, or who know people whose cars have sustained damage from hitting badgers, me and my Cannondale have come off far worse.
The only way I can think of describing it, was like hitting a brick wall . No give. Just a dead stop :wacko:

Apart from a new year day rides I have done absolutly zero this year.

Not to worry, things are great and next year have medium hopes of making a certainly first ever 10,000 year target.

This years cycling is going badly, very badly, I can't get going, I am being bone idle and have taken my already world class procrastinating to even higher levels. I've more bikes than ever before too, I am still cycling regularly, daily in fact, but too easily finding reasons to stop, usually that reason is Fanny's Ale House and that's less than 2 miles from my house. :sad:

That's as good an excuse as you need to stop :okay: Not been in there for many years, but might be worth planning a route that comes home that way rather than going out that way :laugh:

I wanted to do 3500 miles this year but had a few weeks forced off the bike in Feb. So looks more like 3,000 miles. We shall see !

School summer holidays coming up - which means if I get up early I can leave a slumbering household and do 20 miles before work.
