    So sorry gilly!

    I'm healing from a broken pelvis at the moment, so I do feel your pain. Not riding, especially at this time of year (we've had a bee-yoo-ti-ful May in NC - cooler than normal!), is very very tough! Hope you'll be back in the saddle again soon!

    Wow, what bad luck gilly... usually those crashes/falls because of the clip-in pedals are at slow speed (like yours was) and result in minor grazing
    You must have just caught your wrist at the wrong angle
    Hope you heal in record time

    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Ow Gilly - sorry to hear about your fall. Did you get the pinecone tho?.....it would be a very special one now! Heal well and ride another day!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Sorry to hear about your fall and broken wrist, gilly. I feel your pain as I have been there. Not a broken wrist but 5 broken ribs in July 2000! Could not ride for two months (painful when I breathed hard). But I healed nicely, got back on my bike, and haven't stopped riding since then. Here's to a quick recovery!

    I am so sorry about your fall. I agree with AutumnBreeze, may your be the last post about a fall especially at this time of year. Of course Long Island doesn't know that it is spring time and the month is May because it is down right FREEZING here. ugh sorry to go off topic for that bit of venting

    Whoa...that's awful! So sorry to hear it. But did you get the pinecone?

    Saturday my son was trying to teach his girlfriend to a)ride a road cycle b)ride clipless. She clunked over in the driveway, had a helmet on, but it really bothered me. I had told my son that when my new bike comes in she can bike with us. However, we are going to put the regular pedals on until she is simply used to a road cycle before we do anymore clipless. I would have felt awful if she had been hurt. I'm not sure what she has biked on before. Mostly likely a kiddie bike or a mountain style bike. Nothing more than delivering the papers on a bike though. She's only 15.
    Ever notice that 'what the hell' always seems to be the best decision?
