was a great ride though,I took this pic after my stack on my ride out of the park, as I had a 17km ( 10m ) ride after it to get to where we were having dinner, drove my self to the hospital around midnight when we after we got home as my leg was still bleeding a bit and I did not have anything at home to clean it properly
got rushed though in front of a few people as well when I told them that my helmet had been cracked in a few places as well they checked me over cleaned me up then I found I had a broken wrist and damage to shoulder.
and a massive dent in my pride ;)
all good could of been a LOT worse.

What the heck did you do ?
was on a trail ride training for a 12 hour enduro mtb race ( my first one ) was my birthday we were having dinner out at a friends place about 15k from a MTB / walking trail park I got my mrs to drop me off while she went off and did a few things and said I would ride about for a bit and catch up,
I did 1 loop no issues and on a trail i knew as i had done it once before with a few mates, then though i would have enough time before it got dark to do one more, chose a different one.. that was my first fail turned out to be a down hill run not cross country part way down I was to far left and could not avoid a jump and had slowed down a bit bit too much to not land the bike well and ended up over the handle bars I went to roll out of it as i ate the dirt,
ended up breaking my scaphoid and spraining my wrist also few good grazes that needed a good clean in hospital also damaged tendons and muscles in my shoulder
but still got back on the bike and rode out and made it in time ( I had it all logged on the gps as well Garmins are worth it)
By the way, looks like you lost a ton of weight .
Thanks mate :) has been hard work however that is me 80 pounds lighter ( have put on a few though, will not take long to move them again though )

I think you must be doing something right, Phil...I know....hard for me to believe too ;) ;)
But it looks like your daughter adores you.
Take care :D

Looking good Phil. I'm glad you and your daughter are on the mend but I have to ask, what's up with the Lego phone?
-
Wow. Glad you are, overall speaking, okay.
Yeah, doing fit and healthy things can be dangerous. It's why I never sit at the bar on one of those high bar stools.

:) thanks she broke her arm on the flying fox at school just before a dance comp she was able to do 1 of the 2 dances she was going to do and got a place and a few weeks later in the state comp ( just after her cast came off she won first place :) )
the phone is my Mrs's phone she though the lego one was cool as our little one ( and my self ) love lego
I had got home around 3am and my phone was flat from being on the net waisting time at the hospital and wanted to get a pic so I grabbed hers hehe
