This would be a more entertaining and interesting entry if I rememberd this many days back..haha..I am writing this in retrospect.

I cycled outdoors for 90 minutes. Was kind of crazy...Rode from my house toward Southfork but near Bridalveil the path had snow on it..and well I am a nub..and thought, I wonder if I can ride on this..well you can't on a roadbike..so I fell over. My feet of course are clamped in so I couldn't stop my fall with my feet..haha..

I really banged myself up..shoulder scratch, side of knee scratch, elbow scratch, GIANT hip bruise that isn't very bad looking but has a knot in it. That was all on the right side. Ended up walking bike up and around the bridge to see if the road was clear..but it was snowy too so I walked a good 10 minutes before I got back on the bike. Had to dig ice out of my cleats (I don't really know if they are called cleats..I'm just calling them that..haha...) with a screwdriver tool I have with my flat kit.

Then riding back down the trail I found I just can't go fast enough to get a workout at all..too curvy with no visibility. Got back on University Ave. Was stopped at a light. I decided to follow a cycling guy..hehehe...He prob thought I couldn't catch him..I followd him for a while when he dropped his waterbottle on the road..I had no time..ran over it..I am lucky I didn't crash! So I stopped to say hi and watch him get his bottle..haha...Then we rode for a while in downtown...Nearly got crushed by a truck as I kinda swerved to the left..I am crazy on my bike..getting better..haha..

This ride was fun, relaxing (excpet for falling and getting nearly crushed.)

Later:

This wasn't coaches orders..probably considered a junk workout..ran 3 miles with hubby at 10min pace just for fun.

I shouldn't laugh at a bike fall, but that is FUNNY! You need to watch where you are going - too many close calls!!

Does you bike have the slick tires? I was looking at bikes earlier this week and debated the slick or traction tires. I think I am leaning more toward the traction (I'm not quite as hard core as you are :) ). More multipurpose!

Toby!!! You should hear about my falls on Wednesday...the last time I fell..I just wanted to scream/cry I was so frustrated. Fell on the same said..(my right) and hit my hip AGAIN. I was half way through a 34mile bike, alone, tired...and THEN I fall! It sucks..haha...Yes slick tires. I just went with what my coach said...I was like..Ok Teach me! :)

Traction might be good..will save you lots of grief! ;P
