For example, today I added a couple things I was not expecting. Went to get a haircut so decided to cycle rather than walk or use car. Sadly I skidded on a sharpish corner in the park and fell off. I have been down this path at least 50 times this year alone and never had a problem. Result? Iphone console mount broken, new cycle mitts torn, jeans ripped and left thigh bruised. Could have been worse. I nearly went out without my mitts and these definitely saved my hand from a severe and painful injury.
It was a timely reminder to pay attention and not take things for granted. A nice sunny dry day and this was the last thing i expected. Still it proved the point in using gloves/ mitts and a helmet too. The mitt took a rough slide on the tar and certainly saved my hand.
So new mount is ordered and mitts added to the shopping list.
The route tidying has been taking longer than expected. Today, the broadband kept dropping out so could not get on with checking some campsites in the midlands. Hopefully tomorrow's job.
