On Sunday I rode a local ACU trial at Mamble and after burning myself to a crisp at the beach on Sunday I probably should have stayed at home because I just didnt feel right all day.
I felt like I was not actually in control of the bike and it was all too much effort, holding on too tight and trying to make the bike do what I wanted rather than flowing through the sections and it showed in the results as I found myself struggling where I really shouldnt have.
Anyway, I was wobbling around OK and picking up a few cleans here and there until the 3rd lap when I went for a dab on the bank of a rocky stream that wasnt there and ended up falling off the bank about 6 foot down into the stream on my head with the bike on top of me and a sprained wrist and knocks and bruises all over me!
I wonder if my body is telling me something??? It made me think that my head is telling me that I can ride the hard route and my body is telling me to be more careful..... time will tell.
Needless to say I didnt finish the trial as I couldnt put any pressure on the bars with my right hand - nothing too problematic as I am writing this on Tuesday and the pain has almost gone.
My next trial will be the AMCA Exmoor 2 day trial on the weekend of 9/10 Aug. I have decided to ride the clubman class to should be more sensible.
Will update with report and pics following the event..
