Blogging again and biking

It has been awhile since I have added to my blog so I suppose I should not be suprised that no one else has viewed it.
I am working so much that even my cycling is suffering.
I did a nice 50+ kms over the weekend. Very nice.
It is of concern that people I know are having cycling mishaps.
People who have been cycling for years are suddenly breaking thumbs or fracturing pelvises!!
One guy I know who cycled from Adelaide to Gippsland fell off his bike going around a corner in town. He did not break anything but he lost skin.
On the GVBR 2007 many people fell off and broke bits of their body but I put that down to the number of cyclists and the occasional clipping another bike.
There is a need to be very careful when ever you are on the road. What ever you are driving.
