I'm sure I have small scars on my legs and knees, etc. But I really don't pay attention to scars that much so . . .

The only half way decent scar I have is from a ride I was doing with my girlfriends up in Show Low Arizona. Every year, they put on an endurance mountain bike ride up there - it is the most beautiful scenery, you always see HUGE elk, and wildlife and there are creeks/great riding/sometimes a little technical

It think we were doing the 55-60 mile route (somewhere in that range) and we had gone about 15-20 miles into the ride when we were descending a rocky, drop off, section and I planted my front wheel right on the wrong place on a rock that was slanted towards me and over the handle bars I went. I landed on my side and my elbow and tore all the skin right off the elbow. It was pretty gross! My friend, Leslie, was prepared and had some guaze in her bike bag (leave it to Leslie to be prepared) We had an ER physician with us but OF COURSE, she doesn't carry anything like that with her! Well, we wrapped that baby up and off we went. Got to the next food stop and the people there tried to talk me out of riding the rest of the way and OF COURSE, there was NO WAY I was bagging out on that great ride with my 3 best riding buddies, so off we went and finished the ride! It was spectacular.

Then when we got back to camp, everyone again was trying to get me to go get stitches, but I had cleaned the elbow off and it was probably too many hours after the injury anyway, so I just let it heal up. It did, but it was slow cause it had to knit back on, so that is my biggest scar! Very Memorable mostly cause it was an epic ride, with an epic crash with all my best riding buddies present!
