|
|
| Hi all! The Fatmobile has returned from Fruita bearing gifts of pictures. Unfortunately, the ride didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The first day, we rode Mary's Loop/Horsethief Bench, but my camera was malfunctioning. The only pics we got were a couple from my son's cell phone camera. The second day we planned to ride as many of the 18 Road trails as we could. We did a fantastic loop up Prime Cut and down Joe's Ridge from the trailhead. We took a short break after that ride, then rode up 18 Road to the camping area, intending to ride down Kessel's Run. We had just started down Kessel's when I hit the first patch of rocks, went over the bars, and ended up in the emergency room in Fruita. I thought I had broken my right hand, but fortunately, it was just a bad contusion. Unfortunately, that ended my riding for this weekend. It's sore and swollen today, and turning a lovely shade of purple, but I hope I'm back on the bike soon. Anyway, here's the pics. |

Gloves wouldn't have helped me in this wreck. If you throw 250 down onto a rock, whatever is between 250 and the rock is going to give way...in this case, my hand! :nod:

I know what you mean, speaking from experience. BTW, I threw this link in the trail report index. Thanks. |
