Saw the doc today. Said it would just take time to recover and take it easy as my brain can only process so much and then it needs to rest. I hate the cobwebs in the corner feeling of a concussion. After 4 days, I thought I'd be up and around more, but I'm still slow going. The one thing that is driving me nuts is not having my glasses. I look blind with my sunglasses, but I'm grateful I have them until I get a new pair.

Nice thing about seeing the doc was that I've lost 5 pounds from the last time I was there.

Part of me is scared to get back on a bike let alone go back to the trail. I'm sure that's normal too.

DH said when he went back to find my glasses and phone the back disc brake was gone. You can ride the bike with the brake being used.

When I'm up to it, I'll get up to the LBS to have them look at it.

Is there a trick to stopping on dirt? Regardless of what I did throughout the trail, I wasn't slowing down enough. It wasn't even a controlled slide. By the time I hit the hill and went through the dip, I knew I was done for.

I'm still new..2nd time through the course but if you can't stop on dirt, you are just asking for another accident. I didn't realize DH and I had gone the wrong way on parts of the trail the first time so my memory map was completely confused. The trail isn't marked very well so it's easy to get lost.
