As I sit here feeling sorry for myself, I figured maybe some of you could get a couple laughs for my adventure yesterday. You ever have one of those days?
--We decided to try out t new riding area for the dirtbikes...could not find it!
--My feet swelled up from too much truck time, about 4 hours from getting lost...right before we went back to our usual area.
--My bike started right up...it never does.
--I took my usual trail over the hill and on to a track...ended up miscalculating, jumping the track, landed on the front wheel and went over the bars.--did I mention the high rate of speed????
So--long story short, I seriously wrenched by back, landed on one side of my leg and helmet and....my knee braces saved my butt! My knee is swollen annd black from bruising due to the pads, my back is seriously wrenched and my left ankle is sprained--but no broken bones, no head injury (need a new helmet though...) and I will live to ride another day.
One the plus side--I did not have to ride my bike back to the truck--we had the 4-wheeler and I could not have ridden to begin with. AND it was a hell of a ride!! What a jump, wish I would not have overshot the landing, but OMG!! Now I know what I can do on a jump---going to get it right next time!!
---------Tell us one of your war stories...bikes, motorcycle, horses, hiking----------
Please--everyone is making me feel worse on this end, they are all freaked out about me being more careful and avoiding my usual trails....
