Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted May 29, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 29, 2017 One of the rock gardens got me. It is a gnarly corner. It's full of large loose rock, bigger than baby head sized. I hit it with more speed than normal. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted May 29, 2017 Share #13 Posted May 29, 2017 When you ride on the edge, you go over once in a while. That's part of the rush! Glad you're ok. We need to get together and compare MTB scars some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's from her husband. My wife got a massage on Friday. On Saturday we were at the gym and she had bruises on her arms, I felt like an abuser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's bruises comes from fights with the sheep and goats. Luckily, she wears long sleeved shirts. The critters can really do a number on her glasses, so we are regular visitors at the optical shop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other trail riders are pretty ticked off about it too.

KrAzY Posted May 30, 2017 Share #23 Posted May 30, 2017 Are we talking regular baby head size, or really top heavy baby head size? I have seen kids also with little baby heads that are not the full regular size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was done through a knee pad. I feel very lucky to have been wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just keeping it real around here. If you ride fast, these are the consequences that we face. This was the worst crash in a while. That silly corner is a scary disaster. My strava time through that section is up there with a pro rider chic, I have the QOM in one section and she has another. Our times are really cruising. Sometimes you pay your dues. Game on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
