Offroad I fall quite often and sometimes at quite high speed. So far I have only had two injuries and both were pulled muscles incurred in the falls. Only fall so far on the road bike has been through not unclipping and that happened in the road outside my house. That hurt at "0" speed so I do not relish the thought of bouncing down the Tarmac.

Perhaps it time to think of that Offroader that you always hankered after. At least falls on Dirt don't hurt so much.

Glad to see no injury sustained but I have a Brush cutting machine that will take care of the hedges if you feel like borrowing it. Or get your own back by running your car through it. (Or the wifes car would be better)
