My face (contains stitches!)

[Will1985]

Here is a picture of the damage - I've decided that it must have been my glasses which did it as it fits the frame line perfectly.

11 stitches and quite a bit of bruising. Not much to see on my arm or shoulder - just a load of bad road rash.

Bike has a broken armrest cup plus scratched brake lever and bar-end shifter. Wheels are miraculously true. Garmin says impact speed was 44km/h and then the bike accelerated to 65km/h!

I hope you are ok mate

 

[Radius]

Ouch, nasty!
As an aside, your eyes are strangely similar to mine...

 

[numbnuts]

ouch...

 

[Night Train]

Ouch!

That could have been so much worse. Glad you are not more damaged.

Bet that was messy......

 

[Will1985]

My kit was covered in blood, it took a long time to clean up my face in A&E, and I hear that the blood on the road makes it obvious that somebody has been scraped up!

 

[fossyant]

It's a good war wound, I'll give you that.

Oh! Hurty. Remember to embelish the story when you get to work tomorrow.

Sadly I'm still a student, but we're off to Coniston tomorrow, so I can show most of my coursemates. It has become a bit of a running joke that I crash every few months.

You did that running?

Could have been worse; you could have fallen off your bike!

Speedy recovery, Will!

Why is it these scars never occur accross the cheek in action man style!!

Hope you recover soon, looks like a stinger!
(also hope that repairing the bike armrest won't cost much)

 

[tdr1nka]

Zoiks! You've almost lost an eyebrow there!

 

[stoatsngroats]

Good luck for a speedy recovery!
