Thanks ladies, I think I'll keep up with the cold therapy and arnica, maybe the ice massage after it starts to hurt a little less. Mine is from a tangle with the top tube, second time I've wrassled with it. Last time it just bruised the right leg.

Oh well, this can't be half as bad as two summers ago when I worked on a dude ranch. Out of nowhere one of the string horses booted me at full blast in the thigh. It nearly knocked me over and I swear I heard a cracking sound. Stubborn sucker I am worked the rest of the day, even finished the ride I just started and could easily have gotten someone to take over. Ugh, to this day I still have a little bit of an indentation in my thigh!!!

love and cookies
