I don't know what's more upsetting, the puddle of blood or my sexy face My riding mate today Derryn took an almost National Geographic approach to documenting the situation.
rogan, once I hit the kerb at speed my first thought was "argghhh my BIKE". Perhaps that's why my face did all the heavy lifting of the deceleration. Bike was just about fine - front wheel out of true, sidewall ripped around 4 cms. Two cash notes around the tube, sorted. Got the bike fixed at Park Bikes in SOP. Massive kudos for them - gave me some water and disinfectant to fix myself up, got the bike fixed and took it for a quick test ride afterward. Really went above and beyond; wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Main concern was the handlebars twisting a bit during the prang - 4nm on the carbon steerer gives me the heeby jeebies. I guess I should have been more worried about the smashed up face, but bodies heal and quite frankly HTFU LADIES

I now have a matching white stripe on my bike & clothes.

Just spent 2 mins trying to pick it off the frame but got bored so I guess it's staying for now.
Apologies to g-boaf. I was the only one that went on to Prestons but since it was just me I turned around at the bollard.
