Oh Brandi!!! What a terrible Steven Spielberg kinda crash! Sending you lots of hugs and I'm sure that green tea will make you right as rain.

Ouch! Sounds like a painful crash, Brandi. So sorry! Hope you'll be good as new really quickly...
And a pox on the boys who yelled at you! That can really spoil an otherwise-lovely ride.

P.S. That "Green Dragon" sounds yummy! Glad you treated yourself after all you went through!

At the risk of some language de je vu...
Ouch!
I have only fallen into the road once - and I remember the panic of knowing I had to get out of the path of cars but not having my body obey!
Wishing you quick healing...
I just showed my daughter your post because I thought she would like the sound of your "green dragon" but neither of us know what cream de mint is - can anyone explain what it is or offer an Antipodean alternative?
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

It's a sort of mellow mint-flavored liqueur. I used to love it when I was a little kid. They'd put it in mint ice cream parfaits, just a tablespoon or so.

Oh Brandi- I'm glad you're OK! I'm sure the soothing taste of the green tea made you feel all better- at least on the inside. Shame on those nasty boys- I hope their mommy hides the keys to "her" car.
I've had a couple of slow mo crashes (but on my mtn bike- my one road crash was so fast I didn't know what hit me until I was looking up at the sky
).
Hope you're not too sore today. Take it easy!!

Yes, but the kind they use is non alcoholic. I believe it is one of those italian flavored syrups. Originally Posted by RoadRaven
