Crash, Bang, Snap...

Well, being out everyday doing sports in the mountains comes with inherent risks, and last week I found out the hard way that the faster you ride on a Downhill Bike, the Harder you fall!

Had an amazing week on the bike, riding 5 days in a row, then on Sunday afternoon, on the last run in Morzine, I over-shot a jump and crashed, and dislocated my shoulder.

Once it was back in I thought it was fine, but went for an x-ray on Wednesday and this showed that my collarbone was broken, which means 3 weeks of time out from training in the gym and riding the bike. Completely gutted! Was really enjoying it!


Anyway, Hopefully by the end of July I'll be able to get back on the cross country bike followed by the DH, ease myself back into the gym and we're away again! Until then its lots of rest, catch up on the office work, and as many hours as i can manage sat on the gym bike.
