Front wheel slid, I slid and went down. 3.5 miles back to the car to drive myself to the ER.
Update on the fitness routine. Chipmunks are sorcerers! 23 miles into a 30 mile ride I had one cross in front of me yesterday. At the same time I appeared to have a brain fart (or spell cast on me by said varmint). I also didn't see the stick on the trail (his wand maybe?) as I grabbed the front brake instead of the rear or both. Front wheel slid, I slid and went down. 3.5 miles back to the car to drive myself to the ER. Road (gravel) rash on left knee, stomach, left underside of the forearm, skin tear on back of left had, thumb, fore and index fingers on the right abrasions. Tetanus shot because I know it has been a while, lots of gauze, bacitracin, tape, and 5 days of anti-biotics. Light duty for the rest of the week. Doc doesn't want my fingers to get infected. Bike seems to be ok other than one bullhorn on the handlebars out of position. That's an easy fix but I am taking it into the shop later this week just to make sure it's ok.
Fitness is not risk free.
I had to take a break a while ago because of shoulder and inner thigh injuries from CrossFit. Started working out again and doing all kinds of cardio minus running which I hate. But the truth is that nothing gets me slimmer like running so I’m hitting the treadmill again.
Ive also decided to stop bench bar bell pressing. For chest I only do incline dumbbell presses and chest dips.
