Bike Crash

For years I have bragged that I have always kept the rubber side of the bike in contact with the earth while riding a road bicycle. Although I have many times crashed on a mountain bike, for 30 years and countless thousands of miles I have managed to stay upright on the pavement. That is until yesterday. I was rounding a newly paved corner onto the new Steve Harrison bike path in Chico, and didn’t notice a new speed bump at a 45-degree angle to my path of travel. I went down hard and fast and was on my back before I knew it. Thankfully I wasn’t badly hurt, just a bit of road rash, and my bike was still rideable as well. Today I find that my neck is strained and sore.

Still no baby, maybe tomorrow. I fly to Weed and Salinas tomorrow, unless baby comes.
