Went down hard in the rain on Thursday. Started raining part way through the ride and lost the front wheel without warning (isn't that always the way with low-side crashes -- not that it's possible to high-side a bicycle as far as I know...)
Anyway, no really bad injuries. Chipped the end of the 5th metacarpal on my left hand (and bruised virtually every muscle in the hand). Lotsa road rash on the left knee. Bruised hip & shoulder. VERY battered (but not broken) ribs. 8 stitches on forehead over left eye. Helmet probably saved me from serious head injuries. It's in the trash now. So I spent Thursday afternoon in the emergency room & didn't climb LaPlata on Friday (weather would have scuttled that anyway.) Back in the Burgh now and doing quite well. Hope to be able to resume running in a few days and biking as soon as my hand's out of the splint/cast. So you won't hear much from me for a bit: This one-handed typing sucks! ;-) Knarf: PHONE me for computer help. It'd take me hours to type stuff out! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
