That was my very first experience with gravel I will be much more careful next time, this is where experience counts.

I don't seem to be bruising, outside of my knees, but the front/sides of my leg are sore to the touch. So I am just not touching them No soreness riding or anything - I took a gentle 9 mile ride this afternoon just to stretch my legs. I would have ridden further but they were having a bike race at my favorite park and couldn't get to most of my route there.

If I had gone to my usual country roads it would not have been a "gentle" ride - and it didn't seem a good idea to go another 25 miles today. I found even more cuts than I had realized I had - more scars to make up stories about

Marni - I have no children but I am sure that it is never a good feeling to have your kid call and ask if his/her tetnus shot is current!
