NOT A GOOD DAY TODAY. SERIOUS CRASH.

I got up nice and early today to go for a ride up over the hills of the Illawarra.  After riding about 15kms I had a dog come out and tried to rip my leg apart.  As I tried to kick the dog I swerved onto the wrong side of the ride and had a head on collision with a car.

I smashed the windscreen and destroyed my 10speed carbon fibre bike.  My clothing was destroyed when the ambulance officer cut my clothing off.

Basically I'm slightly bruised and battered and will need some time to get better.  Going to see the dentist tomorrow to see if my teeth can be put back into place.

    Hi Terry,

    OMG, I'm so sorry. Hoping for your quick recovery.
    I just wanted to show my husband the nice australian guy and what I see is a picture of a ZOMBIE.
    Get better soon and good luck with the dentist.
