OUCH!!

Well that was exactly what I was thinking as I went flying into the dip at the bottom of the fast single track out at Thomson today. That was because a second before I went flying into the dip the front tire caught some of the loose sand on the outside of the trail sliding it sideways and before you could say deep tissue contusion I was laying at the bottom of the dip bike on top of me. So a serious elbow abrasion, sore shoulder(not sure what might have happen there) and a sore raised area the size of a fist later(will get some pics once the bruising comes out!)I was up and walking it off. I managed to hop back on the bike and ride out at a decent pace even put a little effort into the last stretch but was definitely not going for a second lap. While it probably will put the kibosh to any riding I was planning tomorrow we will have to see what if any impact it might have on the race abilities this weekend. However if Tiger Woods can play the U.S. open with a injured knee and double stress fracture I think I can manage to race a mountain bike with a bruise, abrasion and some muscle aches so I am still planning on competing. So I am resting this evening and getting packed up tomorrow to head out to the Camp grounds at Eatonton on Saturday and with all the local riders that are planning to be there it should be a great weekend. So if your going to be out there I Will See You on the Trail!(Hopefully I won't be laying on it when that happens!)
