So I found this forum on the first day I bought a bike and couldn't make it three miles. Two bikes later and a few months later, and after training hard, I was to do my first big 165-mile charity ride this coming Friday and Saturday from Miami to Key West with a wonderful group of people and stays in Hawks Cay and in Key West. I've never been to Key West though I've lived in Florida for 16 years. Last night, I went to the team spaghetti dinner, got our jerseys, which I love and have been very excited. I even raised almost $1500. Well, today, I was participating in a carnival for work, and had been nominated for the dunk tank. First ball and down I go, injuring my arthritic ankle with a bad sprain and hairline fracture. I'm in a freaking cast, and will not be able to ride for a least a few weeks. I'm crushed, and am venting here because it's all I have right now, and the stupid pain is keeping me awake. I'm just so disappointed.
