Looks like a slight slow down on the restorations at the moment, broke my left ring finger yesterday.
Had a two-day ride in the high country starting from Mansfield near Mt. Buller Victoria here is a link to the ranch we stayed at:
http://www.bushexperiences.com.au/trailRiding.php4.5 hr drive through shit traffic on the western ring rd. Friday night, few beers, shit sleep tossing and turning in bloody sleeping bag listening to guys snoring and farting all night
Got a early start Sat morning, rode all day 150km fast flowing trails with erosion humps (jumps) every 30m, long deep river crossings that were icy cold, luckly didn't stall half way through like a couple of guys
had heaps of fun, punished my body, got back few more beers then out came the shot glasses
Got up yesterday morning to do a quick loop before we headed back home, all good, got into some tight technical tracks which I love and mainly ride that sort of stuff down this way.
Just clipped a tree with the right side of my handle bar and it speared me off into a small tree. I must have put my hand up to break my fall and it got my finger.
Never broken a bone riding before and I have been riding for many years now.
Oh well could have been much worse I suppose.
Got the kids off to bed last night spent a bit of time with my wife then went into casualty around 9.30pm last night.
Got sent straight to the 'fast track' room. Let me tell you there was nothing 'fast' about that room
got back home at 12.30am
I have to have an appointment with plastics they are going to put a wire in my finger, more waiting in the bloody hospital
At least I can still use my index finger to play pinball, even I am a bit 'gumby' with it. Although some guys would probabaly say I have always been a bit of a 'gumby' player
