Bad Day.

After waking up early (6.15am) to ride with Tim.G and some other people, i didnt exactly feel too good. Then 45minutes down the road i realise my cassette is lose and casually say to Tim.G, can you just check my gears please. At this point i find myself embarassed to say that i had forgotten the mavic washer of my wheels and had to be picked up by my ever so slightly frustrated Mum.
As if this wasnt bad enough, i went out later in the afternoon with my friend and at the end of a two hour ride (with my mavic washer back on the wheels!), i crashed. My riding buddy hit a rabbit at 25mph and braked and i went flying into the back of him. Now most of the skin is gone from my knee and my elbow has seen better days (in fact i was probably more worried about my bike than any injury). Annoyingly my left gear lever is scratched to bits and my saddle has a big rip in the side of it (other than that i got off pretty lucky). What is even more frustrating is the fact that i am due to get my sl2 on Thursday. Supposedly i have to have a few days off but i doubt that will ever happen! Roll on the sl2!
