Today started well and we made good time despite attrocious road conditions and the winds were only about 45/50 mph. It was all too good to last. As I came round a corner the full force of a Patagonian wind hit me broadside and threw me into soft sand. The rear wheel span out and I found myself sliding backwards down the road with my right leg tucked behind me. Not to worry I stood up and got back on. Problem is the damage had been done and I promptly fell off another 4 times as my knee continued to swell. The final time I was pinned under the bike and Graham had to help me from under it.
Maisie had bent panniers, bent handlebars and a variety of other ailments.
