Fall #2- ok, that's enough now

[cherinyc]

i too fell over because i leaned to the still clipped in side. you panic because you realize you're going the opposite way of where your mind wants...then boom. My last one was on an organized ride, for those who saw me after the ride (bleeding) who had seen me pre-ride (not bleeding) I didn't exactly have a courageous tale to tell.
oh well...war wounds, that's all.

Good replies!

The funny part is, I love all my war wounds. I was a very rough and tumble little girl, always covered in bruises and scars, and now I'm a 45 year old woman, once again covered in bruises and scars. The difference is, I keep showing my war wounds to people, and they can't understand why I think my bruises and road rash are cool...glad I have a community here that understands!

here here!!! and to top it off, I think my BF is proud of my war wounds as well. I've heard him talking about my riding to his buddies, and he always seems to start off with the part where I fell (not the fact that I fell while doing a 45 mile ride for the first time). I think it's his way of saying "look how tough my girlfriend is".
