This morning, instead of going over the old-time jam I usually attend, decided to head down to Jim Thill's shop for the Saturday morning ride. Was a nice, relaxing ride with a great breakfast stop at Seward Cafe in Minneapolis. What was left of the group decided to do some exploring. Rode over to the Prospect Park water tower (aka witch hat tower) in Minneapolis, MN. Everything was fine, and I even found a shortcut to avoid a busy stretch of road. Just as we get to the tower, I start riding on a path with a couple friends. Well, my SimpleOne decides to drift right off the path, I correct and next thing you know, wham! Down on the ground. Left knee really skinned. Hands stunned and left side hurting. Yeah, was dumb and put the left hand out just like you're not supposed to do. Luckily no collarbone break. Hands still hurting 10 hours later, but the Rivendell summer gloves did their job. Prevented serious road rash. So I should be able to attend the music festival later next week and play guitar for hours and hours backing up fiddles and banjos.
What was really bad is this took place at about 6 mph. Definitely feeling old and dumb tonight. Except for a slightly shifted brake lever, the SimpleOne had no issues. In fact, got me back to the shop where the ride started without any complaint. It's a lot tougher than I am.
