on my return to trying to be serious about cycling. It was awful.



Just about to start descending down a hill in Richmond Park today, and I took a quick swig from my water bottle but as I pushed the spout back in to close it, it nipped my bottom lip.


As I got to the bottom of the hill my mouth tasted funny and I was getting a few odd looks.

Put my hand to my mouth and found it dripping with blood. It was everywhere, I looked like a vampire or a zombie.evil

Probably thanks to the blood thinning and anti coagulant drugs that I am on.

So a warning to everyone, beware of your water bottles.
