The big bounce
Another fall on the bike today. This time was just silly inattentiveness as I was trying to get going while starting up my Edomondo tracker. I let my wheel slip off the edge of the pavement, causing it to stop dead and pitch me forward right. I landed on my right shoulder and hip bouncing about three feet and landing again with a comical LOUD "eugghhhh" not uttered by me since getting a big hit in Football or a hard throw effort in wrestling. I was happy that no one was around to witness and i got up and took personal and bicycle assessment. As usual my reaction had caused me to twist my handlebars and brake levers askew. I again have road burn on my right shoulder and hip.
This is sure to get worse and feel like a real heat burn soon.
The best thing ? I know I can still take a massive physical hit and not just walk away but feel charged up afterwards. Not that I need anything to make me feel great (it's my default state) but this was kind of like a roller coaster thrill.
Time to get back to rugby! Lol
