Wharncliffe strikes again

Another sunny Wharncliffe visit yesterday amongst all this stormy weather we keep getting. Met up with a fair few Hamsterley locals which meant about 15 of us riding together. This normally means loads of hanging around waiting for people but not this time. Everyone was up for as much riding as possible.
First we headed off to the little jump spot for a warm up sesh. Quite a few riding like demons especially considering they hadn't been there before with quite rooty landings from the jumps.
Then off to the first downhill run of the day. A slippery push up the 'Fast Track' had me thinking it might be a bit of a slow route down but this was not to be. Speed was the key to keep floating over the rocky sections. This was until my 3rd run down just before the small double at the end of the rock section half way down. Lost my footing, front wheel slipped, bars hit a tree, bike stopped dead but I didn't & got flipped right over the bars, landing on my back I thought things might be ok. After sitting down for a few minutes I realised I couldn't put any weight on my left leg. Nothing broken but gave my Coccyx a right battering which sent shooting pains through my leg. Game over for the day. So glad I had my full armour & back back on. Hate to think what I'd have been like without.

So I crawled home & winced every time I had to change gear.

Report cut short by injury but hopefully all the others had a good trip down. I know they were heading over to the 'No Human' track to give it a bash.
