Default Don't do the right thing.

I learned the hard way.
I was marshalling a trail ride and people were going off track because of some poor marking, not my fault, and getting into a bit of a tricky place to get out of. So I was riding back up the track to try and fix the marking out.
Had a nothing crash at about 10kph.
Rode into something soft and wasn't paying as much attention as I should have, all of a sudden I've been flicked off the bike, stuck out my right leg and found a firm bit of ground. Snap.




Had surgery to correct called 'tibia nailing', where they bash a rod down the entire length of the tibia then pin it at the top and bottom. Should have an xray of that soon.
I'm really annoyed, did it the day before semester 1 of university started.
It's really hard to study for courses that don't have any course books, or text books, or online material..
Guess that'll learn me.
Oh well, a few weeks with a moon boot and crutches.
