Damn... 8-1 today at HM and had to bail.
Thanks @mtbiker87 for keeping me company on my walk of shame.

Sorry to the rest of the Pats for not being able to continue. But I know you guys are in good hands. I hope Pat remembers to take the group pic!

Hopefully it's only a flesh wound

Yep... and a humbling learning experience.
Don't get lazy and respect the trail.

Great ride today! We managed to survive the sweltering heat conditions (even walking up was gruesome). For the record, I pulled a Pat/ @arangov3 and went OTB. Bike is fine.

How did you guys like the loop?

How did you guys like the loop?

Challenging. Lots of climbs! I remember when me, you and @qclabrat went, we did it in reverse.

Look at what my wife and kid did to my leg. It's going to be more painful when it time for the bandages to come off

 

[Kangdoy]

Also ran into @Mtbdog at the lot when we finished. Gave us some ice cold bottled water! I was special and got the cold Gatorade. Thanks again! 🙂

Don't you wear knee pads

Going up on Ancients from the bottom of Jack's is a tough long climb. Sounds like a great ride

Yeah... I sled forward a bit and the initial impact pulled the pads down.

Btw... how are your ribs? Did u get xrays?

Lucky me my wife was a wound care nurse and can wrap me up with out losing hair or skin. My gash is finally closed up for the most part.

No scans, I've had cracked ribs once and bruised several times. Not much you can do except minimize activity and let it heal. Minimum of 3 weeks. Fractures take about double. If the pain doesn't subside next week I'll go to a doc

He was a life saver. Great timing. Thanks Pat, eh Frank

time to shave 🙂
speedy recovery!

i've found the hydro colloidal bandages to work the best. Doesn't work as well around joints, but works well for that scratch on your lower leg. replace every 3-4 days

 

[Paul H]

What does copper do? Just went to walmart to pick up a knee sleeve so that the scratches aren't exposed and the bandages stay in place next time I head out. It says it contains copper.
