Went for a ride at diner time. Intended to finally find Tony Sopranos house. The road leading up was closed due to road works. They have a cop stationed there too so I couldn’t just ignore it like a crazy cyclist would. It’s very hilly round there. There was granny ring action. Came down a massive twisty road, the sort you loved as a kid, with the brakes firmly applied. One sharp corner, no sign and a big steel plate over a hole in the road. Couldn't swerve round it due to traffic. Got the front wheel up but the shock on the back wheel went right through to my ribs. Absolutely snagged now. Probably sun burnt. 90 F in old money. The iron horse is resting in the yard.
