Went on an awesome ride over kirkby lonsdale, and on to Hawes over the Yorkshire moors.
Just passed the brew van and all the hill walkers littering the road, then started to open her up. Got to about 45 when a sheep darted into the road 15 meters in front of me. It went left, then right, and I thought I was going to hit it square on! Last second it went right, and I hit the rear end of this fully grown sheep with my right foot. I stayed on the bike luckily, but looked down to see my right foot bent abnormally downwards, then slowly straighten out. I pulled over to assess the damage.
One smashed peg hanger, bent gear lever, dented link pipe, and my boot split open along the outside seam! My foot is a bit bruised, bit not broken, and we managed to bodge the bike with cable ties to get me home.
I'm one lucky lad, it could have been a lot worse!

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
