I think I busted a tit

Because it's a bit hot at the moment, I'm carrying two bidons - just in case I get really thirsty on the way home and need a bit more to drink. Which is what happened tonight.

The thing is, I rarely have to extract the rear bidon, so my muscles aren't used to the action. When I pulled it out at the lights tonight, I ripped the pectoralis minor (I think) something wicked. I almost fell off my bike with the pain of it. It was agony from nipple to armpit.

The pain subsided after about 5 minutes - for a while there, I was riding with my arm across my chest like I had a broken collar bone. I couldn't bear to grab the handlebars or pull on the brakes.

The stuff that happens to you as you get older.....
