And I Came Crashing Down....

head first. Ouch.

The day had started out well enough...went and met The Bill for a 2-3 ride on the trails at Raccoon Mtn. It takes awhile to get out of the parking lot some days as there are so many friends and aquaintances there at times. No surprise on that for most of you....

The ride was jamming along nicely and Bill was interested in seeing me hit the log on the small intestine trail. I had road it for the first time a couple weeks ago and he was anxious to see me do it, as I had been told I had made it look easy and effortless. I actually thought it was no longer there, as several trees had been removed from the trail and thought it was one of them. No so, as Bill pointed out , there was the log. I came around the bend and pedaled fast towards it. Up I went, and unfortunately, I had stayed seated and didn't shift my weight back and I came crashing down wheel, head and shoulder first. Bummer....that hurt. A few minutes later a man came through..he walked it. A few more minutes, two more men and no real attempts. Perhaps that should be a sign.

I finished the trail and headed back to the car where Bill was kind enough to help me get myself organized...The shoulder was making it difficult to dress...and proved to make it difficult to undress once home. I pretty much called it a day and Rosie and I proceeded to take a 2 hour nap. I am glad this weeekend is behind me......
