Pedal-less and Butt Broken...

While riding yesterday, getting ready for the race on Sunday, I took a
spill. It was pretty bad, but only because I landed on a pointy rock
right on my lower back/upper butt.

I laid there in the trail,
too much in pain to move if anyone came. Luckily it only hurt really
bad for about a minute. Then I was able to stand up.

After I got
back on my feet and inspected my bike, I decided to finish the ride.
But, after riding just a few feet, I noticed my left crank arm felt
loose.

Great.

The Story

Just testing out some video I took through my digital camera while riding. I need to find a part of the trail with less rocks to test though!

Womble Weekend Trip

This weekend is the Oral Roberts University mountain bike class trip. I graduated last May but I've been going on the rides with them anyway.

Nothing like camping in the Ouachita Mountains for the weekend! Skipping work on a Friday is awesome!

I usually take pictures, but I think I'm going to try and take some video instead.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Oh, and I got some new gear from a big sale at my LBS.

New saddle, co2 cartridges instead of pump, new shorts... that kind of stuff.

It's the weekend!

Some of you may know but for those that don't, I just graduate from college, got married, and got a real full time job. So I'm quickly realizing that weekends are a gift sent from God himself!

Anyway, I kicked off a weekend of great mountain biking by riding at Turkey Mountain last night. Bad idea. Too wet. I hate messing up the trails like that so luckily my buddies didn't ride much.

Go ride a club ride!

By walker on 7/21/2006 on walker's blog

Do you remember the Get-A-Long Gang? It was a stupid cartoon. There was this moose, who was the leader, and other animals who played really well with each other. If there was a problem, then the Get-A-Long Gang could solve it. Yeah, right, a moose? Whatever!

You're probably wondering what this has to do with cycling, but it has everything to do with it.

Do you do club rides? Usually, these rides are on the road. However, there are plenty of group rides that are for mountain bikers. Last night there were about a hundred mountain bikers hitting the trails. They all seemed to be in packs. It was good to see.
