took the trail bikes into the Hira forest today, was about halfway thru my ride, and i had my goggles off, but my sunnies on (goggles got fogged frm me walking down a track to see how steep it was, and this branch came out of nowhere, and clouted me in the eye, and I thought "fudge and basket", but it wasn't bad enough to stop riding, and the sunnies took the main force of the blow. I chucked my goggles back on, as they had de-misted, and we carried on riding for about 2 hours.
We stopped for a break, and my brother says "wtf did you do to your eye?", I thought the branch might have cut me, but it had punched me hard enough to burst a blood vessel..... ewwww yuck. Half my left eye is blood red, even the kids are creeped out by it.
Other than that, I didn't fall off, but managed to get a bee up my shirt sleeve, which of course stung me. We rode from 9am-4pm
