I don't consider it a successful mtn bike ride if I DON'T fall and injure myself.
Let's see that bike all caked in dirt and glory.

It's like skiing...it's not a real day if you don't taste the ground at least once!

Someone (who shall remain nameless
) endoed twice on her last ride... It's all part of the fun.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

You gals are serious mtb'ers and you fall in a most noble fashion. I'm just a lowly tomboy that wants to fly through the sticks, vines, small stumps and the like without falling when I've come to a complete stop. Or because my tights is duking it out with the saddle.
Gotta wait this afternoon before I can go out to play. Got the camera charged up this time.

Pics as promised.
I had a bad accident today. I came off the trail onto the pavement and I was going downhill around a curve while glancing over to another trailhead. I braked with both hands but I grabbed the front brake too hard and before I knew it, I flew over it, landed on my chest and felt my front teeth grind against the pavement. My chin did too. How I didn't end up with road rash is beyond me. My teeth are ok. My elbow hurts really bad. It happened so quick I don't remember if or how I braced with my arm. I think the nerve running from the pinky to my elbow is what's hurting right now. I feel like crying. I'm really sad about my crash. I wonder if I shouldn't ride my mtb now.

Thank you Elk and CC for your words of comfort. I'm pretty weepy right now. I just wanted to ride and have fun.
I'm going to take a pain pill now and go to bed. Maybe it will be better in the morning.
