Specifically from touring ...

Crashed at the top of a steep hill in England 2003. I was going so slowly, I couldn't unclip in time. I still have the scar on my right elbow.

Crashed descending down a gravel road in Queensland in 2004. Tore my left knee to bits. Had to ride 160 km to civilisation, where I caught the bus to the next town and spent 5 days recovering before setting off again.

Crashed into Rowan shortly after we docked in France. I was looking around at everything and didn't realise he had stopped. I hurt my wrist a bit, but that was about it.


My worst crashes have happened on non-touring rides ... cracked ribs, separated shoulder, concussion, etc.
