I actually did some snowboarding on Saturday!  Circumstances have been conspiring against me recently and between work and bad weather I hadn’t ridden since the end of October.  On the positive side it meant that my mega bruise had gone, on the downside it meant that it had been over 2 months since I’d been [...]
