Dream Trip?
Sometimes You Crash
On a routine ride, hopping a curb in between dirt paths that I’ve hopped hundreds of times, I pulled up too strong on the back end, and the next thing I knew, I saw the pavement coming at me.
Isn’t there something about most traffic accidents happening within 5 miles of home?
My left rib cage hurts. I iced my leg 3 times. I have a strawberry on my left hip and my left elbow has a scrape.
My pride is deeply wounded.
(Why would anyone ride road bikes?!)
The sunset this evening helped it heal. As did …
What’s your dream MTB trip? Mine is still a multi-day trip across the Georgian Caucasus Mountains.
Stay safe out there in 2022, y’all.
