Road Biking 101

I'm a real "biker" now and I have the scabs to prove it.

Here's a picture of what it looks like now,

a week after the attack of the asphalt:

I've learned something really valuable:

don't cruise down a hill at 35 mph,

slowing slightly to turn and head up the driveway

on a road bike.

It doesn't work!

I feel blessed that I didn't break anything,

and cool that I have a gross elbow.

When I came in all bloody, the girls took one look at me and began to bawl.

GBear was still sobbing when I got out of the shower.

I told them this was nothing compared to all of the mouth and teeth pain I've been through lately, 

and that calmed them right down.
