It has got to the stage that I can't remember my last decent ride and it is not Dementia. Been out on the bike to see if my legs still work and the bike is not frozen solid but only for a few miles at a time. I can only get rides in at the weekend and so far we have had Snow- heavy frost- heavy rain or gale force winds every weekend since the beginning of Decenber. Did get out for a 20 miler on new years day but that was out of Bravado in the cold weather to meet my Brother- in-law who drove down to the Seafront for a walk.

So I decided that this weekend- I was riding- come what may. Weather forecast put the temp a bit reasonable but depending on the weather forecast- there would be rain or there wouldn't . Wind was going to be high at around 25mph but-------------------

Today- the 25mph wind meant that I was hit by flying debris at work. 50mph gust when I was in the yard and a sheet of Ply board hit me. The edge of it caught me on the back of the neck I went down like a sack of spuds. Hurt a bit and I went home so I could get ready for tomorrow. But now- 8 hours later and I have just got back from A&E. I can't raise my arms above my chest. All I have is bruises but it is painfull.

So No matter what the weather is going to be like tomorrow- I will not be riding again. Though judging by the weather tonight- that may not be a bad thing.
