It didn't hurt but these bruises sure do!

well the good thing is you didn't put out your hand and break a wrist! Way to fall!

FBG- I did that two weeks ago (should admit how often I crash?)! I bruised the base of my palm pretty bad but was thankful I didn't break my wrists. I am not tiny boned but those things seem so fragile. I bruise so easily I have to tell everyone I mountain bike so they don't stare too long wondering!

My knee is still a tiny bit swollen two days later- oy!

Any improvement? I hope you are feeling better soon!

Or a collarbone.

Hope you're feeling better!

Much better, thanks! My knee is still purple but Tuesday it hurt to stand on it which was a bit scary. Now, it is just ugly. We are going mountain biking tonight, I hope to stay upright the whole time.

Traumeel cream for the bruises;
Full finger gloves for protection,
consider wearing knee pads
and wear the bruises with pride...

[Aggie_Ama]

Thanks, I will look for that cream and am considering knee pads. If nothing else a lot of people I know say it helps them feel more confident so they crash less because they aren't worried about crashing as much.

I do wear full finger gloves which has been a big improvement. When I first started I would finish with the weirdest scratches on my fingers.

I just remember to tuck and let things fall. I cannot afford to break something!!
