Guard Rail 1 vs Jeni's face and bike 0

We're thinking about taking a crappy wheel and making a clock with the hands being the two pieces of my fork!

that would be so cool. you will have to add that to your pictures!

[Bad JuJu]

Can't believe you're smiling in that photo! I'm impressed with your remarkable resilience--both physical and emotional--Brava! And thanks for sharing your frightening experience with us. Maybe some of us can learn something from it.

Ok Jeni....I see on that last picture, the one of you lying there, what looks to be your bike's tire at the bottom of the picture edge over your stomache.
Does this mean your poor bike was hovering anxiously over you while you lay there, trying to help you despite it's own grave injuries?

[KnottedYet]

and who's lap were you lying in?

[eclectic]

Scary, scary, scary stuff
Someone needs to invent airbags that stuff in handlebar bags

My sympathies towards the injury to yourself and your bike
Elated to hear that you are healing well

Let us know how your first ride back is

[fatbottomedgurl]

Your jersey says it all -- you go girl!

[Hub]

Y Your poor Baby!!! Mustang Sally was such a brave girl! Poor you too!
Hope you got some good meds out of the whole thing!

When my brother gave me my beloved Boo-sikki ( Mytrusty Giant) - he told me there are only 2 kinds of cyclists- those who have crashed & those who
haven't crashed YET!

I pray for a speedy recovery for both of you

[TrekJeni]

and who's lap were you lying in?

Not who you think! He was too far out front. But that's going extremely well too. Thanks for asking!

(guess you had to be there)
moving into my new apartment next weekend

Yes, good eyes, I had asked to have my front wheel so I could look at it. Wished I had gotten a picture of me with the wheel in one hand, giving a thumbs up with the other, like football players do when being taken off the field.

Thanks for all your well wishes, did a casual 25 miler to see how I was tonight. Averaged 17.7 for the way out. Goeff kept asking where all my energy was coming from. My neck bothered me a little on the way back. He wants me to flip my stem for this weekend's century ride I'm doing. I think I'll listen for once!

OMG, you are one tough cookie!!! I cannot believe you are smiling in that picture and now you say you went on a casual 25 miler. Good grief girl, give your poor body some time. LOL

a 25 miler alone is still a killer for me.

I am so very glad you are okay. I cannot believe no one with a car stopped. I mean do they think that the bike riders are going to pull you down hill on a strecher or something.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Yes, good eyes, I had asked to have my front wheel so I could look at it.

I prefer to think that your poor noble injured bike was desperately trying to save you & perform the Heimlich maneuver on you while you lay injured!

[short cut sally]

Jeni, you brave, brave girl..first you tell an amazing story after the amazing "bronco" ride, and then you patch "Sally" up and take her for another spin...glad to hear that you are alright and both you and your bike can enjoy many more rides together..like mentioned by fatbottom, you go girl...

[Kitsune06]

TE girls ARE tough as nails.

Quick recovery, Jeni! =)

[DebW]

TE girls ARE tough as nails.

In Jeni's case, way tougher than any aluminum fork.

[GirlWonder]

I can't believe you are up and on the bike again already. Amazing.

Glad to read that it wasn't worse for you. And that your bike broke in half nice and clean so you could repair it quickly. I think the clock idea is a great one!
