August 21, 2008 - I had a bit of a close call yesterday.
I was mountain biking (it's world-class stuff around here) and, while dropping off a ledge, I went over the handlebars. It was a pretty good crash, really, and I landed hard on both hands before doing a shoulder roll. Other than some deep bruises on my palms and a bit of scraped up skin on a shoulder, I'm fine. I was hurt enough that we had to back-track out of the trail instead of continuing though. I'm sore now but I should be healed in a few days.
But all I could think about was the potential consequences. If I'd damaged myself, I might not be able to run the Targa. Ask Sebastien Loeb about that!
So, it's easier rides only for the next few weeks. |
