That's why he's my lust object. He could come ride bulls with me any day! I remind myself of that when I hit the 13% percent hill to work, and the 10% long beasty on the way home.

That aside, my brother raced moto-cross for a long time and broke his 3 times. It's a bone that is meant to break. Otherwise lots of babies wouldn't make it out. Especially now that we idealize skinny, slight framed women. That aside I think everyone has good advice. You're not being a baby, but this is not the end of the line.

Travis, my brother, was back out there pretty quick and I think that had a lot to do with brake numbers two and three. Take care of yourself, get a Netflix account, eat ice cream. Just chillax a bit. What we do on our bikes is more than most of the couch potatoes in the world do.
