Why I won't be mountain biking again any time soon

On Saturday I went mountain biking with my team. It was supposed to be an easy ride to finish off "recovery week". Uh, yeah. Well, today is Tuesday. It's been about 80 hours since I returned from that "easy" ride. I just took these pictures (sorry about the quality -- I did these myself and it was kind of hard to get a good angle with proper lighting and to actually see what I was taking a picture of at the same time).

My arm (which looks much better than it did three days ago):














My outer thigh:















These beautiful sites are the result of not one, but two falls. Easy ride -- yeah, right.

I think I'll stick to my road bike for a while.

I know those bruises all too well. If thats what it looks like today, just wait till a few days from now when it turns green/yellow! Its all part of the fun and comes with the territory I guess.

You got me beat already, Boy the thought of doint a tri-atholong is far beyond my conception. Instead I will remain at home and raise my granddaughter. http://www.whisperingwhispers.com also http://www.myspace.com/whisperingwhispers
