Well today, instead running a 10K, I opted to bike with a friend an 80 miler, which includes a five climb loop of 2000 feet for fun.

So the morning starts off and things are moving along. Did the climb great, kepy my heart rate in the 170 range and stormed up the hill.

So after all the monster muscle flexing stuff is done, cruising along at 24 mph, when I swerve to avoid glass, touch the wheel in front and come crashing down.

No harm to bike, thank goodness, but massive road rash, sore back and hurt pride because I missed the last fifteen miles of the ride. To add insult to injury, laying in the middle of the road, dazed and confused, nobody stops. This town is fast and tough, and few people care.
