Today was one of those days that I should have just stayed in bed. It was a Good Friday ride up past Fountains Abbey and into Ripon, and then back through Boroughbridge back into York.
It was a beautiful ride up to Ripon and we stopped on the square for a coffee. Somehow I managed to save my recorded mileage up to this point. For fellow Strava users, you’ll know how frustrating this is. When we set off after lunch I ‘might’ have been a little grumpy!
About 10 miles into the return journey we took a wrong turn and as soon as we realised we went to turn around. I must have had my pedal down on my turn and clipped the road. I fell off. Derailleur side down. I do have a habit of falling off, this time it was my bike rather than me that was hurt so I called a good friend of mine to see if she could pick me up. She actually answered the phone with “Have you fallen off?!” When I said I had, I nearly heard a hint of concern, but it was fairly brief! She did come and get me however and drove me and my bike back to York.
