How To Get Out Of A 24hr Solo Race.
Broken finger while night riding with crazy single speed bike messengers a week before the Scott 24hr also put me out of the fling on Sunday.

And then you decided to fix it yourself with a couple of nails and a NAILGUN

"Believe it or not, non-cyclists sometimes think they have something interesting to say!"
I bet you would know John. I am thinking you must have done that kind of thing before?
That's enough to encourage a little more care not to do it again, but I'm wondering what makes you think I'm accident prone!
John.
"Believe it or not, non-cyclists sometimes think they have something interesting to say!"
No, not at all. I would never say that you are accident prone. It's not like you are having broken bones all the time!
I wouldn't want the NobMob guys here to get the wrong impression or anything! 
Cos' there was several weeks after my broken hand healed before I did the collarbone, and they do say "you're not trying hard enough if you're not breaking bones" or something like that.

The Fling, here I come

They werent much thiner than spokes could of fixed it on the trail. I had them pulled out on Friday they just got the pliers and out they came no anesthetic or anything. I did it night riding in bantry bay with the sydney single speeders it was only my second night ride and only the second time I had been to bantry bay. Riding beyond my ability and sensibilty.
That's fine riding beyond your ability Damien, that's how I do it all the time
and thanks for the tip on the pins I'll remove my own to save a trip to the hospital, I'm bound to get some pins one day.

People bewarned!
Bad luck Damien on missing the Fling etc...your not the only one though..
Hope the hand recovers quickly...that pinky should be able to be strapped up...got any 4 fingered gloves ?
Was it that long ago.
Pinky still causes me some mild pain now and then.
