Drove from the Lakes back to Newcastle like that, finally got home and got Linzi to take me to hospital as a passenger, moral of story never go mountain biking by yourself miles from home! |
at least you had the excuse you were alone!!
I broke mine at the start of a long downhill after a long climb. The lads tried to be patient for a bit but in the end they gave up on me so they could do the downhill before it got dark. Other half grudgingly stayed with me but made me get back on the bike and ride down a rocky technical track until we got the road and it was a bit easier. I managed not to blub until we were back in the car and on the way to hospital
