A lesson to all - Dont play with Ocky Straps!

OK....well firstly nothing too serious, but I was in the garden and had to get the wheelbarrow into the front yard, opened the gate which is tied to a trailer to stop it rattling on windy nights.....I just released the bolts and the gate just rebounded into my jaw!.......not tied with a rope but tied with an elastic ocky strap.......this was yesterday and other than the initial owwwww, I later found that chewing food hurt......it is better today, but I hav bruised my jaw bone..........didnt ride last night as I felt a bit yuk..rode today though and will be racing this afternoon........just be careful!

Not a bike story but a warning that it is easy to get hurt!

Other than that I have had a much happier week......have a few plans for the future, work is still an ongoing saga, but I am applying for a TAFE photography course and I have an interview on Monday and have to present a portfolio of work....well I have some...you can see http://www.actionpactpix.com/ to get an idea but I am only new and still learning so it is basic stuff. If I actually get into the course, I might not be able to complete it so I have a few things to think about, BUT I have to have an interview to have any chance and the course is one and a half days per week.

I have been doing a bit of riding, had a good race on Wed night we averages 36.6kph (I think) for a 36km undulating race so I was happy to be with the bunch, it was a handicap so I had to do my share of turns too, but I finished 6th overall (not unhappy with that though). I am still a bit tired in the legs from that. I did ride a slow 75km the next day and the weather was fantastic. Anyway the race today is only about 40km I think and not sure how I will go as my legs got hammered last Wednesday so I am not expecting anything other than to have fun (I hope). Thats about it, must start getting organised and mybike in order for this arvo.....
