Riding
Sand Valley loop (?) near Mammoth. Had to climb up to +10,000 feet
and then ride on double track through meadows, rock traps, and sand
traps. Epic. |
| Worst Mountain Biking Experience |
Crashed
and burned trying to learn how to jump. I cleared the double beautifully
and then face planted at the base of the second single. The ER doc
stiched my lip and chin in 3 places and gave me good drugs. (~ 10
stiches but Mom never noticed the scars.) To add insult to injury,
I gave myself poison oak by using my contamminated towel from the
day before to clean off my face. I went to work with gauze on my
face to cover up the stiches, road rash and poison oak oozing. My
husband had to sleep next to the 'fleshy headed mutant' for 2 weeks!
