    ack, broke my right wrist!

    Too bad I'm right-handed! Orthopedic doc appt tomorrow...will find out if I need surgery. Hopefully no. I'm already bored. Typing is hard one-handed. Mouse tricky to use left-handed.

    But I still had a great day...probably my best on a mtn bike before a truly silly non-technical, loose turn took me out. At least I did this as Winter approaches.

    Hmmm, your attitude is amazing! I'd be all crying in my spilled milk.

    Heal up quick! At least the rest of the ride was good.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Oh Kirsten, sooooo sorry to hear! Hope it doesn't hurt too much. As always you're taking it like the champ you are.

    Bummer Zoom Zoom. But it's lots of fun to see the look on people's faces when they assume that you probably tripped over a curb and you get to tell them that you broke it mountain biking. People think you're really tough then

    Heal fast. The first few weeks are the hardest. It starts getting easier after that.

    They asked in the ER how I broke it, then asked if I was in good physical health...hello!!!

    My biggest worry is that this will make me gunshy. I've always felt sorta bombproof--lotsa falls and lotsa bruises and scrapes, but nothing serious. I don't always bounce, i guess.

    Thanks, ladies. I may be mentally less ok with this if i cant at least run in a couple of weeks. i may join the little 24/7 gym to walk on the treadmill (to avoid icy roads) or ride the recumbent stationary bikes.
