Lovely ride, took it easy, layered just right. Until the Lambeth Walk/Juxon St corner by Pimlico Plumbers where there was a double patch of ice and I came off - mashed the elbow and hip up. OTHER elbow and hip as the other one is mashed up from a tumble last week.
Spotted the first patch, trundled around it, but there was a second one lurking on the outside that got me. As I was fixing the bike, someone else came around the corner so I hollered to be careful as theres a double patch, she slowed down then slipped off in the exact same spot. As I helped her to her feet, she was glad I'd said and could slow down accordingly. Unhurt, luckily.
Arm hurt like fuck on the rest of the journey in - twitches in the hand. Leaving half hour early to be able to take it easy on the way back.
Boss - "most importantly.............how was the bike? Is it okay?". We got priorities here.
