Wow! What a way to slide into the rest stop! Did the Russian Judge give you a 10?
Hope you get to feeling better soon. And I'm with Maxxxie, I might have SAG'd it the rest of the way, but to untangle yourself then continue the ride, impressive!

Good for you! I might have packed it in and gone home. Hopefully that heals quickly!
At least I don't leave slime trails.

How many people have chain scars on the FRONT of their leg?

It's like I always say, if you're gonna need help, you might as well need it right in front of the place where the helpers are hanging out. Originally Posted by bmccasland

Catrin - Kudos for finishing your first organized ride, especially after a fall like that! I'm way impressed that you stuck it out till the end.

I certainly had plenty of help - and they all moved away too quickly for me to thank them once I had a chance to gather myself. I really was concerned about my leg at the time and still am amazed how I wound up getting my leg so caught up in my bike frame - especially since it is such a small bike. I am really thankful for all of the help. Originally Posted by ny biker

Gravel! $*()$&W%)&. I wiped out on it this spring test-riding new bikes. I did everything wrong--turned into a gravel path going quickly and leaning a lot. It's not very cooperative stuff, is it?
Good for you for going ahead and finishing!"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

Yikes. I crashed hard on gravel a couple of years ago and still have a dent in my hip.
Glad you had fun anyway. Heal up quick!
