OUCHIE

Decided I hate the geared bike. That in conjunction with the crappy Wildcat trail head complete with motorcycle ruts, large rocks, gravel and horse bunk made a very sucky ride yesterday. Couldnt make it up the sh*%Ty hills and then down the sh*^Ty hills the bike was horribly uncomfortable. We argued, then I bit it HARD. Endo'd in a drop off section complete with those large jutting sharp edged rocks. Opened up my right knee nicely. Had to steri strip it and ice it and coat my pain with alcohol later. Having an xray today to make sure no fractures. Hopefully just a soft tissue injury cause it will heal and can still ride this weekend. Bruised the other knee and left shoulder and wapped my head quite well. Thank god for helmets.
Anyway, may be quite a bit slower on the flats with my single speed but at least my single speed doesn't try to kill me and I know and am comfortable with the way it handles.
On second thought....maybe it was my spouse trying to kill me....I mean he did take me on that trail head with that SHi(&^%y bike with a dysfunctional derailleur, small heavy frame and very twitchy handling....HHHMM..perfect opportunity for an inexperienced rider to face an untimely demise...........
