I am not eighteen anymore.

I went out for a ride tonight and managed a respectable 8.5 miles. All was going well until the last section... I decided to head off-road for a bit of thrill seeking.

What I forgot is that my mountain bike is fitted with slick road tyres... I managed the first patch of mud without incident but the second was more tricky.

I lost it and ended up tangled amongst a large patch of brambles.

You know what? I feel great!

I think it's time for a bath and a bottle of red for medicinal purposes.
