Bummer

Went for ride in Annandale Park yesterday. The ride up was good. Beautiful day and feeling strong. But the ride down proved to be a bit more challenging. Coming off a berm, a little too hard on the brakes and my bike slid out from under me to the left. I went right toward the slop side off the mountain coming down full force on my shoulder. It only took a moment to realize that something was broken.

Hoofed it down the trail with help from The Chad. Came out of the ER with some pain meds & a sling. Looks like I've got a few uncomfortable weeks ahead of me.

So keep it safe out there kids. Never take your body for granted. And take a spin around the block for me.

Broken clavicle? Yeah, I have not been taking my body for granted. I've seen and heard about too many accidents lately, some fatal, some not.

This is my first activity based break. No fun. But could have been much worse. I'm really thankful for that.

I've never broken a bone yet. I'm hoping I never will.
