Crash #2

I haven’t updated the blog in a while due to a lot of riding and then some déjà vu. In anticipation of the next Sundance Super D race I’ve been riding at Sundance a lot, usually doing one or two runs at race pace. A couple of Saturdays ago I was riding along at a little slower pace but was on a trail that I have now ridden several dozen times. I let my mind wander a big and then SLAM right into the ground. As far as I can remember I realized I was carrying a bit too much speed and probably hit the front brake just as my tire hit a rock thus throwing me right over the bars and slamming my left shoulder (again) right into some well planted rocks. The bright side of this is that my injuries are not nearly as bad as last time. I wasn’t going nearly as fast and landed where there were only a few rocks. I had some minor scrapes to go along with my VERY sore shoulder. It’s been about two weeks and I can now touch my head without searing pain. Sadly the Super D is this weekend and I don’t think I’ll be in any shape to race. A few good jars to my shoulder and I’d be out so I’ll save the entry fee and take it easy on the trails in a week or so.
