You really need to cover that grey ;)

Try Just For Men... I swear by it!

He already has covered most of it! Just left a bit at the sides.

 

I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure Bry wasnt ginger the last time we had a beer together :)

Considering the smack your head took on the tarmac you should have gone to the hospital, but you're OK in that respect (that you're not concussed and it's just a bang and a graze)... I've had many 'similar' injuries when I used to go out mountain biking, only a couple on tarmac, but many when on the hills, one when I found out there was a telegraph in the middle of a downhill track (Leckhampton hill down from the 'old' tram station if anyone knows it, I hit it at full pelt, did my head (Bruised, the helmet shattered, which is good), collar bone (broken), and right arm (only a fracture on that), and a 5h!t load of thorns and scrapes all over my body from going through the bushes), and coming down 'Sandy Lane', I managed to get stuck in the rut in the path, but wanted to keep racing, and thanks to a couple of roots going across the rut, I flipped the bike, I didn't disengage, as I had SPD's on it, and bruised my nuts (On the stem), as well as gashes to my calves and thighs from the chainwheel, and a huge chunk off my ass from sliding down the hill on it... It bloody hurt!...

LOL well I didn't picture the scabs on my hips and the swelling in that area as its not worksafe :D I can still hardly walk which is a pita. My eye was fully swelled shut this morning (ice pack keeps taking it down but it swells back up when the packs back in the freezer). Headache is worse today and chewing food is not pleasant. My elbows and knees keep weeping everywhere which is just gross man yakky as my nipper keeps saying (she's obsessed with sticking her nails in the scabby bits which is not amusing me much).

 

Cheers for your support though guys I should be back to my normal antics in a few days. Not sure the bike will fix as quickly though.

When you said you were doing 30mph, I was expecting some sort of CF sportsy bike, not a blooming push along rayleigh style...

 

Mate you would be surprised how fast these things shift over here (step out in front of one once you'll soon figure it out :) ) I average about 25 mph on the way to work. The place I fell off is the bottom of a small hill I usually get up to about 35mph on. Just so happens theres a lot of wet leaves gathered down there at the moment.

 

Blimey from the look of that bike no wonder you crashed it :rlol:

 

Sorry mate I hope you heal up soon but riding whilst drunk whaddya expect :)

:yeahthat:

 

We have a couple of bevvies every friday after work and normally I am OK (I can't be sure but I think a couple of our drinks were stiffed as my mate was throwing his ring up at half seven and that man could drink the tap dry). They do say whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I should be the strongest man in the world by now :D For sure its made me wiser though (taxi time on fridays from now on)
