bizzare cycling injury #10

We've experienced been some bizarre cycling injures in the past - broken bone in hand from crashing (and grabbing onto) a chicken wire fence; grain of dirt in the eye so embedded that required a doc to literally scratch it off our eyeball; burnt finger from going "geez that was a bloody steep descent - wonder how hot my disk brakes got...? FUGGGINOUUUUCH!"

Then today riding to work another to add to the list.

"Wasp lands on hand and gets feet stuck in cycling glove soft velcro stick pad thingy, craps itself and stings me like a bastard"

Took 2 or 3 flicks to get the damn thing off he was on that tight. (Which only got him more pissed, and me more stung, off i reckon.)

Christ on a bike... (I'm gunna be whining for my mummy all day.)

Stylin... 1985

This is how cool people went windsurfing in 1985... (note hair and pink T-shirt; how cool was this dude!)

A 320cm board.

A "powerhead" (i.e., single batten in the top) sail.

A fin that slid into the board from behind.

A boom that tied (not clamped) onto the...

One piece fibreglass mast.

Oh, and the coolest thing of all? Being driven to the beach in a buzz box Mazda 323, where the gear was longer than the car... by your mum.

Sandy turns it on...

Does it actually get any better than this (umpire)??

Sandy Point, arguably our last child-free trip away until 2024 (see http://bigtum.blogspot.com), and a Monday flex day. Sunshine, warm water, spring suit, 18-24 knots SSW, mid tide... Hey, there ain't no waves, but when it comes to cruisin' it just cant be beat.

Not to mention only 2 others on the pond.

Bliss.

Oh no... the saddest day of the year.

Summer is over. :-(

Oh well, only 9 months to go.
