So this past Saturday I took a pretty damn good spill. I was a little pissed because the situation that I felt caused it was something that could have been avoided with just a wee bit of foresight. Short version is that I was checking to make sure that nothing fell out of my trunk bag, hit a rock, missed a bridge, and went down the side of a gully. Being clipped in, and on dirt, I was not able to stop before coming up to the large rocks, did a little jump (which is silly being clipped in), but it worked and I was able to lay down the bike as I went over. I will say that I fell quite well, tucked and rolled and all that, but scraped up my knee, my hand, and had some major road rash on the right arm. I was bleeding profusely, but got back up and rode on. I was livid just due to the circumstances. But give it an additional .4 miles, and I was smiling again. Crashes happen on occasion, and those don't make me mad. The situation did. However, biking is absolutely awesome, and any anger melts away with each spin of the tires. I'm still sore, but such is life. Being as instantly mad and angry I was made the cycling seem even better afterwards, and now I know without a doubt (not that I had any before...just wasn't sure if it was the heart rate or the biking...not the heart rate, as an FYI) how awesome this truly is. GoblinChief previously had his personal text set to "It's hard to be angry on a bike", and have to say that it really is. I hope you all continue rocking this, and have a safe and happy cycling month!!
