sleet and -1c here
Brilliant sunshine here in Cheshire as well this morning (but don't envy me; I can't get out in it today. I spent 2 days on a welsh mountain over the weekend having first hail and then snow thrown at me in what was apparently only 0C yesterday, but I can't last remember when I have needed some many layers to stay warm. somewhere in amongst that I managed to crash my mtb, smash my cycle helmet into 4 pieces and have yet to locate all of my bruises, the head, rib and thumb are the obvious ones, but I seem to have outside left hip, inside right knee + others that have arrived overnight and have less than 4 days to sort a cycle helmet out before going on holiday) Bright side of things it is sunny again and I enjoyed the mtb weekend enourmously. Worst thing is I am going to have to cycle into Chester to get a new helmet and not really be able to try it on due to the bruised forehead/side of head & swelling!
Ooh, nasty. I hope you recover quickly.Brilliant sunshine here in Cheshire as well this morning (but don't envy me; I can't get out in it today.

front... honest that's the head band that is exposed inside...Gah, back of your head too! How on earth did you do that?

think it is the car bumper scenario... the helmet looks worse than I actually think the fall was, but I could be slightly biased/concussed. it was a 3 ft jump I landed at speed, though that bit was OK, it was the stopping the bike after it that I failed at... bl**** typical I should fail at the easy stuff.Either way, nasty business.
