Coed-y-Brenin

[Susan Hemmings]

Went to 'Coed-y-Brenin' mountain biking today on the Karrimor route, only got half way round and
came off, required wounds to be super glued together at the local hospital. Oh well may be I'll
complete the other half next time. Some great riding though!

Think yourself lucky: my son had a fall when he was a toddler and they use /stitches/. On his
/head!/ Maybe they had run out of ants :-/

heh-heh...and some impressive superglueing!!!

Love Coed-y-Brennin, Karrimor route. Came off last time there as there are some very unforgiving
sections and I'm ****, hesitate far too much. I was lucky and just ended up with a badly gashed
knee, about half way round, that bled for the rest of the ride and impressed everyone by the time I
got home about 5 hours later ;-). I'm off to Gwywder on Tuesday with my son, see if I can fall off
effectively there..... Glad to see you're still able to type though, Susan ;-) Dave.

My last mountain bike ride was on the Karrimor trail. I crashed on the Redbull section and face
planted, cutting my face which probably needed stitches or glue. I have a scar running from mytop
lip to my nose. Thankfully I missed the rocks that were marking the trail. Later that day I crashed
on the rocky descent near the end.

I took my near miss as a warning and gave up mountain biking to concentrate on road biking.

This reminds me of my very first cycling injury, when I was about 4. I too required stitches to
my head. Not because I fell off, nothing that predictable. I was riding my neighbour's tricycle
and wouldn't get off when he wanted a shot. With us both being only young and not well versed in
the skills of tact, diplomacy or negotiation, he picked up a hammer and whacked me over the head
with it! I didn't so much "get off" at that point, I think it was more of a "collapse in a heap"
type action.

Any stange behaviour since then is purely due to that event (and many other knocks to the head).
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Funnily enough, I still want my own tricyle (http://www.greenspeed.com.au/gtv.htm) but my mummy says
"Get lost, you're 33, buy it yourself!"

Have (lumpy headed) fun!

Graeme

Oh so do I. Two actually, a Trice and a Windcheetah.

Clearly the superglue didn't hold them back on for long
