Or seems to be. Second, the tree with which I was intimately familiar for a fraction of a second seems well, too. And I'm glad that after several Roentgen ray exposures, at most there is only a very small crack in my clavicle. How does this know to occur when I'm riding by myself and am at the point furthest from the car on a little used trail? It was tough getting back = 8 km. I walked down a couple of hills I normally would have just ridden - afraid another fall might make a bone puncture something really important. As I got somewhat close to the car, difficult to ride, but at least I was off the singletrack portion, so the trail was smooth and wide, yet another obstacle. I crested a small hill to see a moose taking up the entire track in front of me. She let me know that she had no desire to cede me any property. Scheisse. Pushing the bike through deep snow added a component I did not anticipate. Thanks to E. K. and friend for helping me get the bike back into the car! I'm good for now on Aleve® but we'll see how sleep goes tonight. And I will not be riding the bike anytime soon."<br /><br />I didn't even know I was a member of the CCC. Thanks for the knowledge.

I went airborne instead of rolling it like i planned and augured in shoulder first. Rode 20 miles back to the car, saw the doc 2 months later and got my "consolation" prize 2 further months later (because you know, Brevets and Centuries have to happen)- 4 surgical dry walls holding my shoulder together. My Ortho said that once more I had done the improbable and managed a SLAP and Bankhart tear in my left shoulder labrrum at the same time. bbprhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184255009105409200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739147624979162869.post-22889337370434231242017-05-03T21:44:57.733-04:002017-05-03T21:44:57.733-04:00*Mom*,

While John got to take a limo/ambulance down to Springfield, I needed my own transportation. Given my state of mind, I got my friend, Carolynn to drive down with me. When we arrived at the ER, the receptionist asked if we were wife and daughter! I was too slow to say, "No, wife and mistress". So congrats, you're a grandma!<br /><br />And yes, we will try to kick this new habit!<br /><br />RugratFixie Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932022188247682078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739147624979162869.post-85671833223371624002017-05-03T21:25:55.301-04:002017-05-03T21:25:55.301-04:00Rest assured, Mom, this is enough clubbing for me!...Rest assured, Mom, this is enough clubbing for me!<br />Fear rotharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993209782692168195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739147624979162869.post-86157095303882950792017-05-03T20:29:01.972-04:002017-05-03T20:29:01.972-04:00John, sending best wishes your way for a speedy an...John, sending best wishes your way for a speedy and smooth recovery.

This made for a slightly more dramatic story of standing up without passing out, and then riding a mile and a half up and down a moderate hill along a muddy dirt road before checking again for cell coverage. Now aside from the busted (5 day old $200) helmet as proof positive that he had hit his head, he also rode past at least a dozen houses before checking his cell phone signal. <br /><br />And then he was in such a hurry to get the application for official membership submitted, that he continued riding and met me a couple of more miles up the road. <br /><br />I loaded the bike on the rack and made note of the busted left hand brake lever and the busted right side of Fear Rothar. So I figured if he had managed to ride and brake with his busted right wing, that he would be fine waiting until the following morning to see our PCP. When he said he wanted to go to the hospital now, I sputtered out something about "man cold". But I'm not totally heartless. I handed him an ice pack I'd grabbed on the way out the door and agreed to take him to the clubhouse, where drama slowly unfolded. <br /><br />At this stage, I've told him it's not a competition and there is no need to try to get more "likes" by matching my broken bone count. But then again, he finally had a good story for the blog!<br /><br />His Loving Wife,<br />Pixie Fixie Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932022188247682078noreply@blogger.com
