After a fairly heinous road crash I can tell you getting on the road bike again is tough.
And getting on it to rub shoulders with the usual suspects in a crit is even tougher. The skin heals, bruises fade and the stiffness and pain subside. But you have to fix your head. In a sport where a moment hesitation means you missed the opportunity, and being afraid means you can't hang in there is no room for fear.
So I told fear to get gone the best way I knew how. I got on my bike, I paid my money and I raced HPRW.
I stayed upright, I had support from my koiled team mates and somewhere in there I rolled to my best ever result in the presence of some good competition (Donna, Nik and Jemma).
I guess I am choosing to believe fortune favours the brave.
Ride on.
