So the awesome news is that I got the bike I wanted, trek 4500 wsd. I collected it this time last week and managed to have a little play around on it before going to a photography workshop at my school.

I decided to keep myself fit I will ride the 7.5 mile lap around richmond park everyday after work. So on the Monday last week, I only managed a measley 4 mile lap as the BF took me up some steep hills. I also nearly crashed into a whole bush of nettles coming down one of the hills. Lucky for me I survived that with only a couple of stings on my legs.

On the 2nd day (tuesday), we were going to attempt the full lap. All was fine until about halfway down when the bf and i went seperate paths. He told me to go straight down the cycle path, but somehow I managed to get myself on the bridal path.. it was wider and thus to my mind - safer. NOT. The first part of the path was fine, fun actually, then I hit a massive rock, caught some air and bashed down to the ground, i saw my front fork go nearly all the way down. Woah I thought.. fun but scary. Next part there were wide 'steps' with the edges made of wood and the remainder of the step simple gravel and sand. It was slippery and I was conscious of my balance going down the steps, but I survived the first two. On the second, I landed sideways and felt I was slipping down my left side...

Next thing I know, I'm coming out of what felt like the weirdest dream only to realise I'm still at the park and I couldn't fucking move. I started yelling for help as I tried to lift myself off the ground. Eventually two physiologists came to my rescue. They were the ones that told me I had hurt my shoulder.. they thought it might be disclocated. They were also the ones that called the ambulance.

So 8 hours later, at 4.30 in the morning I was finally released from the hospital in a sling. I have a small fracture on my left scapula or shoulder bone. I got the week off work, and with one free hand that means complete and utter boredom!

On the other hand though the new Mars Volta album leaked, which is at least one good thing that came out of this whole story. I also took photos of my big injury on my shoulder but i dont think its really DA worthy..

anyways, I will do a proper photo update with my new lens next week. xx
