stupid injury, grrrr

so in lieu of biking, went for a nice hike in the foothills. Just about stepped on a rattlesnake! - I have learned the dance "Idaho Rattlesnake Shuffle" One big step up and 5 steps back.
While the snake rattled to warn me he wasn't to interested in anything beyond that - whew. We couldn't even get him to move on by tossing pebbles at him. Sure got my heart rate up in a hurry. Left some markers in the trail to warn others. We had to pass the same area on the way back and he had finally moved on.

Yikes! You just can't win can you? Heal up quick.

Thought that I would offer something healthy/natural. There is a natural oil called Arnica, helps to decrease swelling and discoloration, if you have any. I have used a few times and LOVE it! For me, it seems that oil works better than the gel rub.

Hope you're feeling better!!

Arnica is the best!

I will try the oil. I used the gel on my achilles and was looking all over for it but I must be out.

It could be worse, one of my riding BFF's was visiting her daughter in Portland and did a demo ride on a Santa Cruz, crashed and broke her humerous! Had to walk out two miles. I took her dinner last night - we were laughing about the poem "When I am old, I shall wear purple" Who knew our purple would be in the form of bruises

Oh, that's perfect. And the red hat that doesn't go will be the stitches in our faces.
