Tradgedy before the Trek
While on a short 30 mile ride yesterday I crashed my bike. I hit a pot hole and then the brakes too hard and over the handle bars I went. It hurt like hell and knocked the wind out of me. I got a little scraped up, sliced a finger pretty good and hit my knees pretty hard. The worst of it though is my left arm, which felt like I broke it, but after x-rays determined to be just a bad sprain. I hyper extended it in the wrong direction and every inch of it aches. About all I can do with that arm is wiggle my swollen fingers. Can’t extend it, can’t rotate it, pretty much useless… which is why I am typing this with one hand on my iPhone. This really really sucks. I hope to be healed enough to do the Trek, I worry though about my arm being able to take the stress of 60 miles a day. Here’s hoping.
