new wheels, 700/21 tyres feeling a burn coming on, hit 30+ mph up Caledonian Road, feeling good, all going well until I drop down on bars TT style, vinyl bar tape and Lycra/polyester arm warmers don't mix well - arms shoot off bars forwards sending me all over the place at 30+ mph, proper heart in mouth moment, manage to pull it back together by using legs and crazy balance...needless to say the next 10 miles home, done at a very leisurely pace whilst contemplating how much damage I would of done to myself and the parked cars had I hit them
