coming down Beckenham hill at about, er, 40. car took a little longer to turn at the bottom than I anticipated. slippy road surface, minor swerve around and down I went.
Sliding with no obstacles to hit, luckilly I took most of the force and bike escaped relatively unscathed. Not quite sure how I've managed to remove the tops off both STI's. Or have scratches on the frame on the opposite side to the slide, but it was all happening rather quickly.
I know there's a tradition of pictures of naked flesh on here. but I'd rather not. suffice to say, standard thigh and elbow road rash. Holes in gloves, jacket, mid-layer, outer tights.
Mostly annoyed with myself. I'm off to have a bath.
