Also had a few falls. The 1st was the worst though and this on my 1st outing. Tried to impress my newly found cycling buds by going full blast up a very steep hill. Managed to go up about quarter way before realising I had no legs left to peddle further. Ended up in a suprisingly large bush of thorns of which a 100 or so ended up stuck in the leftside of my body. The mates were hysterical with laughter but helped patch all the holes and my very bruised ego.
