I left work at 3 PM today to ride at Camp J. There are a bunch of log piles way in and I was humping over one of them and bobbled, landing full force, bike on top of me, with my left thigh smack across a log lying on the ground beside the pile.

I didn't break anything, but I have a very sore left leg and am walking with a pronounced limp.

Good ride anyway.

I was humping over one of them

Splinters?


Hey, at least you're out riding. My legs were a bit too fatigued today, and I was up late last night finishing up papers and studying for finals. No ride for me today. Hopefully tomorrow tho.

Splinters?...

d'oh... That's what condoms are for.

Be careful. We want to see you make it through this year without a major injury. No more bobbling

 

[johnbryanpeters]

That'd be nice.

He said splinters, not sphincters you sick old man.

D'oh! Don't hurt yourself so early in the season. I too crashed over a good sized log yesterday. Landed on the small of my back over it. Light bruising, full mobility, but damn it hurt!

Saturday physical therapy: disassemble a spring-tooth harrow half buried and entangled in brush roots. Carry it piece by piece up to the junk pile by the road. Bicycle into town for lunch, visit with friends along the way.

Today's physical therapy: Trail work from 8:30 to noon, including getting whacked in the head by a 4" log when clearing a windfall tangle. Ride from 12:30 until 3:15. I'm tired and sunburned and covered with black fly punctures. Yet another good day.

Becareful father time.

Thanks. I have gotten bitten twice by a chainsaw over thirty years or so and pay a lot of attention to what I'm doing - I still have no idea what I did wrong this morning - I utterly misjudged pressure on the tangle I was cutting - something unloaded and I got swatted.

Yah i swear alot at work, so much so i get burnt out on it. Kind of like how office types have to adjust their speak when they get into the office it's the total opposite for me.

The day after reading this thread, I pulled this same type of crash over a log. As I attempted to hop off, my left foot wouldnt unclip from my new pedals, and I torqued my knee completely sideways as I fell over. Nice.

Sounds like a hugely successful weekend, JBP!
