June...

Its been awhile since the last blog post. Reason being i haven't had any good news to bring in. 

I still have no good news really. Last Saturday I crashed hard on a typical training ride with the 2 Tom's. We were pushing the pace a little (single file) and an old man's car pulled out of a Give Way on a side road. I was 3rd wheel and couldn't  get round like the other 2. I had hit the deck nearly without blinking just before ploughing the car at 50kph. 

I was pretty shaken, couldn't breath for a good 10seconds, then all these muppets crowded around. I went to hospital in the ambulance and had X-rays on the elbow because there was a deep hole etc etc and it looked to be cracked. After a bit more waiting around. The Doc came back in and worked his magic with the needle and thread(fishing line stitches). 

*Both Tom's were awesome at scrapping me off the pavement. 

For the moment I am recovering and finishing off the cycle of Antibiotics and a few other painkillers. Just finished building up my new bike because the other one was a bit of a write off. The frame is a little smaller so i should be able to get a bit more of an aggressive position on the bike. 

I have had to sit out yesterdays I.W.T Oetingen (1.2) and Saturdays Omloop Het Neusbald Zottegem (1.2). Which are both cobbled classics that I had been targeting and building up for. 

Im now looking ahead to July's racing and taking this forced break as my mid-season break.

Also looking forward to heading down to Rennes to catch up with the Bro, and Mum & Dad.

Many thanks to everyone thats helped me get through this little rough patch. 

I am also buzzing for Jack Bauer on his first Tour de France, I know how hard he's been working to get himself there. Im sure he's going to lay down his fair share of Curry during July…..

Thanks for Tuning in…
