When I was on the main forum page, I got excited when I saw what's shown of this thread on my screen:
Under the topic "Mountain Biking"
I Came... I Saw... I Hate....
It just looked like the mountain biking thread for me!
Sadly, it's not -- I'm sorry to read about your injuries, Sundial. It doesn't sound like an experience I want to have ever! It's a great looking bike, though, and maybe she's "trained" now, never to throw you again. Take care, I hope the doctor says nothing's too seriously wounded, and you're back to normal in no time!

Karen, don't let my mishaps stop you. Your pride will hurt more than your body when you fall. It doesn't hurt to fall on the leaves or grass. I pretty much ride a very easy trail--on purpose. Dumb dumb me decided to make my fall count on asphalt.

Oh THAT kind of "mountain" biking! That's a nice place to ride, nothing like the stuff DH thinks we should "mountain" bike on -- real mountains, doncha know!

Not what I hoped to come back to...
...O Sundial, I am so sorry to hear about your spill. I haven't been on TE for awhile, and I just checked in and found this!

Hi Sundial, your bike looks beautiful! Sorry about your crash, I sprained my knee a few summers ago while mountain biking. I hope you give it another chance, it's so much fun! I've gotten used to crashing and you do get better at crashing with more practice
I'm not an expert mountain biker, but would consider myself an expert crasher (I've been complimented). To me, it's worth it to be out on the trail, crashes and all!
Hope you feel better soon!
