unclipping, stopped car, oops

[pooks]

I came into work today in capris pants (the thought of jeans over the cuts was not good). The reactions should be good!

When I had my bad fall (not clipless, just dumb) I tried to do an endo or something -- ended up with horrible bruising and a hematoma between my thighs. So other than a scraped elbow, you couldn't see anything unless I was wearing shorts.

Well, I went to the ob/gyn and decided not to warn her. Was SHE startled when she rolled forward and raised the sheet!

Most fun exam I've ever had, I was laughing so hard. And she told me some of her dumb falls. (She's a cyclist, too.)

I'm glad you're okay, though. Have fun with those cuts. They're proof you're a jock!

Fishdr - weclome to the 'clipless pedal scars' club! My friends and I like to sit around and share the stories of the scars we got from our first rides clipless. They're usually pretty funny, and always embarrasing! We just keep telling each other that guys dig chicks with scars...it makes us feel better about it all.

Fish - glad you got through your first fall relatively unscathed - falling seems to be becoming a way of life for me

We'll all wear our scars proudly!!
