GLC--that's funny

I have a gash across my knee from mountain biking. I came around a bend into a steep, sandy climb. "I think I can, I think I can, Maybe I can . . . " I uttered as I cranked my legs around, and then 'thwop'--My front wheel jarred into a tall root. I managed to unclip my left foot, then fell to the right--right onto a tree stump.

Of course I didn't have a first aid kit with me. Blood dripped down my leg for most of the ride until I fell into a sandpit. That clogged it up pretty good.
