I had my first run in with a moving vehicle today. Actually, a truck tried to run me off the road. I'm okay - bruised, sore, bashed and really hurty, but okay.
I rode out to and then round the back of the airport today. Just as I was turning round to head home, I got clipped by a truck who decided he needed the whole road and the kerb and white shoulder area. Not cool. To cut a long story short, I have a HUGE bruise coming up on my left glute, another coming up at the base of my left thumb, and two sets of xrays for my left wrist and left elbow with question marks on them. I'm in a sling for the rest of this long weekend. Not cool at all.
I rode home after being scraped off the road and back onto my bike. Heck, it was only 12km and the adrenalin and endorphins were pumping so why the hell not? I then hit the A&E for some xrays and a sling. Joy oh joy - and with instructions to not swim or bike until the pain subsided or about seven days (whichever was sooner). So, looks like I'm on enforced rest for a week.
We'll see how long that lasts!
