Pictures and parts list will have to come tomorrow, dealing with a wrenched/bruised back tonight from a fall on the trail...

Uh oh. What happened?

Uh oh. What happened?

I was riding a bit slower than usual because I was riding with a friend and her 5 year old son - he actually rocks on Pine Loop and drops me in a heart-beat but we were encouraging him to ride Limekiln for the first time; he's been mountain biking for two years now (this is his second season)..

We were on the way back from the Rally Campground entrance and I hit a root at an angle at slow speed and went down pretty fast/hard. Snapped my neck and wrenched my back - I think it is just bruised. Wishing I could wash the ibuprofen down with a beer Unsure if it is back or hip...but it isn't a sharp pain, no shooting pains, nothing like that. I think it is just bruised. It just hurts when I walk, sit, move, or lay down...

We will see if I can get up in the morning

Yikes. I hope you feel better soon!

Yikes. I hope you feel better soon!

I do feel much better this morning after hitting the ibuprofen bottle ever 4 hours, icing and going to bed early. Still a little soreness but nothing like yesterday. I won't forget that lesson easily about not taking roots at an angle
