Minor wipeout today on my bike

[runningteach]

I hope you are not too sore today.

Ouch! Glad you and your bike are mostly okay, and nothing got broken. Feel better!

If you can get it, a lotion made from comfrey will help your road rash immensely.

I think we all kind of shivered in sympathy! Wow! So glad you're okay.

Sounds like a major Ouie!!

Glad to hear that you were able to ride your bike home!! Raspberries are no fun. Just make sure you get all the "road" out of your raspberries.

BTW, is your bike okay? (had to ask )

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Yes, bike is fine...and I'm doing okay too. Despite the fact that the road rash still stings pretty badly, I was able to get out and ride today. I put a nice, large dressing on it and secured it with paper tape...that combined with the compression of my cycling shorts held the bandage in place fairly well and it really didn't bother me all that much during the ride. After we got home, I cleaned it again and applied more Bactine spray...which stung like CRAZY, even though the bottle says "No Sting"...yeah right!!!

I have to admit, I am pretty lucky when it comes to the "no broken bones" thing. I have never broken a single bone in my body...yet (knockin' on wood). I guess I'm built pretty durable.
