Lesson 1: Riding downhill on narrow country lanes on a mountain bike with fat squidgy tyres and soft suspension is not to be recommended, as you may meet a car coming the other way and not be able to stop.
Lesson 2: If you decide to take to the country-side to avoid said car, you may have difficultly when it comes to rejoining the road, and end up on your arse.
Lesson 3: Tarmac is tougher than skin.

May I suggest you (or whoever you may be referring too...) were going too fast for the said road? ::)
I suggest this smugly, from my computer chair, with all skin intact (at present)

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One or both buttocks? ???
Hopefully, you are being treated sympathetically, whilst removing the lumps of stone from your cheeks! :o :-X :-X
Get well soon and view some MOTO2!! ::) ::)

The sympathy went something along the lines of "Shouldnt you be taking up something safer, like bowls".
To be fair it would have been a lot worse if I had hit the car head on.

MMMMmmmmmm! If only, Steve. Knew a man who tore ligaments in the ankle after tripping over a bowl. ??? Very sore, nae excrutiating and not properly sorted for 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!! ??? Another, who popped a disc in the back whilst trying to rise from the delivery position, into the anxious 'me, looky, looky' jog after the bowl! ::)
STOP THAT 002! :-[ :-[ :-[
Give up two wheels? No! It keeps you fit, supple and all over exercise. The old Dawes needs some attention. :-[
Keep removing the grit, or else you'll be 'tattooed' for life.
Regards, Bill.

Best way to remove gravel is to coat liberally in savlon and cover with a clean dressing, change the next day and you will magically find the grit comes with the savlon.

Glad you were mostly unhurt Steve, keep pedalling, apparently done regularly it takes ten years off a chap!
