ONE WEEK DOWN! And only 5 to go!
Today’s ride from Buckeye to Apache Junction was another great one. My body is still somewhat wrecked, but I am getting stronger every day. My mom reminded me yesterday that I have the “mind of an athlete, just not the body of an athlete”. That’s why we keep her around, folks – cold, hard dose of reality.
I crashed my bike today
(apparently I don’t have the dexterity of an athlete either, Mom). And on a
bike trail of all places. I guess you can’t really consider it a “crash” if
your bike doesn’t actually tip over and you don’t actually fall off. We were
crossing a bridge and I rode into a big slit between the planks. You know how sometimes
you look long enough at an obstacle thinking “I need to avoid that” and you are
actually drawn to it? Yeah, that’s what happened. Anyway, my back wheel dropped
through the gap and was caught by the rear derailleur – the bike stayed wedged upright
and I stayed on it for the most part.
I’d say it was the best case scenario.
