Well, fellas, I have good news and bad news. The good news is my
vacation just turned into two weeks. The bad news is that this is
because I sprained my ankle yesterday in a spectacular UPD.
I was riding a section I have ridden many times, and is only moderately
difficult, but somehow I needed to swerve to avoid a rock, and couldn't
quite right myself in afterwards. I ended up dismounting off the front
of the uni, right off the edge of the trail and down the hill at about
45 degrees in a full run. The hill was strewn with cactus and other
prickly plants and with rocks each about 1 foot in diameter, spaced a
couple feet apart, and embedded in the side of the hill.
I managed to run the whole thing out in about 20 feet, planting my feet
frantically on any flat spots I could find and trying to slow my
descent. Just as a came to a stop, the last rock I planted my right
foot on twisted it to the outside. Wow, it could have been alot
worse!
Anyway, I won't be riding for the next couple of weeks, so thanks for
the invitations, anyway, and I'm sure we'll get to ride sometime in the
near future. After I order some Active Ankles. 🙄
