22nd Feb - Bike

MTB at Bedgebury again, not so muddy this time but went out with a big group so spent a lot of time racing.

Didnt have any lunch and we didnt finish til 5pm so was really feeling it at the end., a really good training session though.

Had my first proper crash, no back brake so went straight over the front going at least 15mph downhill, landed on my head. Thigh was a bit sore afterwards but nothing major.
