I have a very hurty shoulder (but I'm sort of 80%+ that's nothing broken - no restricted movement, just hurts). In addition to three very spectacular wounds, I also seem to have gravel-rash in the most unexpected of places (and a good variety of the same).
As I sit here typing blood is running down my shin from my knee, a most odd feeling.
I'm miffed, because I was enjoying myself - and it'll be a little bit before I get out again (I expect to be very stiff and sore tomorrow).
But (subject to the shoulder thing) it's hopefully temporary inconvenience rather than permanent (and given current circumstances, I really don't need an injury that stops me driving).
Worse things happen at sea, and my thoughts have turned to whether the level of damage on the bike merits a new one, or repair, or even both, so it can't be that bad, can it. ;-)
(Wipes blood from keyboard).
The sort of riding I was doing would probably be ideal for you. Forest tracks with some inclines, but nothing too challenging, (except the bits where you fall off!) and quite varied. A bit like Delamere, but Sherwood Pines, which I skirt, also has some reasonably gentle MTB routes.
