Yes, it was Chas following a cycling mishap on the Monday following Easter Sunday; yes, he deserved it because he showed me up with his amazing jumping prowess; and, thank goodness, he didn’t send me the "crack" shot, because knowing me, I would’ve totally posted that!
That’s terrible. What happened to him, anyway? Curious minds want to know. And I never laugh too much at cyclist mishaps, since I am one 😉
being married to a cyclist…I should have figured that one.
The hubby is always covered with stuff like that.
OUCH! I remember those days, eh. Kids.
Ya know, Mike, I don’t know exactly. Tad came home from church the other night, and told me to ask Chas why he had been showing his…ummm “tail” all night long…so I did and he sent me that text. I’ll get the deTAILS and pass ’em along…he’ll appreciate your “vote” of sympathy (or at least empathy).
Pamela, I just learned something about what’s his name…your hubby.
MaryMert, I never got one THIS good…or bad…!
I can’t say ‘you crack me up’……Or, your too ‘stinkin funny’……could be a bad choice of words here…….
Anyway – painfull stuff……yikes!
I think Robin is runnig out of things to post about? I never dreamed my bum would be viewed all over the world. Thanks for not making fun of what could have been a pretty bad spill. I was a little worried on the other comments because one person did actually respond by “hoping it was my arm”. I almost responded and said, “Oh Yeah, Me Too!” If only it was my arm. To answer the question, I was on a ride Tuesday evening checking out a course I’m racing on Sunday. I was visualizing what the course looked like and when and where I might might be able to make a move during the race when all of a sudden I ran up on the back of a buddy’s wheel. I had to make a split decision on whether to hit him or go down so…. It happened so fast I really didn’t have a choice. I am fortunate that I wasn’t seriously injured. Although I am a little worried because I did seem to have a little memory loss and some cognitive impairment even though I didn’t hit my head. But considering what I did hit, hmmm?
Kristy, punny girl, you are :).
Chas, GIMME A BREAK, COWBOY…YOU sent the text to ME! You know my blog “policy” ;).
All kidding aside…it didn’t hit me until asked that you really could’ve been hurt, I forget about that part :(. Be careful, Sunday…vewry, vewry careful. Steph doesn’t wanna be married to Seinfeld’s “Tony” ;)…and your babies need their daddy in one piece!
See ya at the finish line :):):)
Awwww! Poor Chas! How awful!
My brother is an avid biker, too. I am amazed that after the thousands of miles that he’s biked, he’s only had a couple of close calls. Bikers are a brave breed.
Ow. Ow. OW.
I thought it looked like the marks you get on you butt when you sit on a wicker chair.
Pam’s DH is Wal, there are pictures and stories of his cycling exploits.
Ouchie I can feel that from here. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced road rash, but it is burned in my memory forever.
Owie, owie, owie!!! I got road rash all over my chest (yes, boobs), elbow, knee, and face when I fell-down-went-splat on my Bianchi almost 5 years ago. I got a remodeled chin out of the wreck. No fun!!! I used Tegaderm and the road rash didn’t scar at all on the important places (thank goodness!!!). I FEEL his pain!!! Only two kinds of cyclists: ones who have crashed, and the ones who have not crashed YET!
Susan, I KNOW! I’m much too chicken to strap on Lycra, hop on a bike with my derrière jacked up IN the air, and fly down a mountain. I think the Lyrcra scares me the most ;).
Jenny, maybe it was just a ploy to get sympathy…. It worked :/.
WT, somehow I missed that or wasn’t payin’ attention. Either way, MY loss!
Marnie, witty…and painful.
SABRINA……..OH, MY, WORD! I never knew you were such a daredevil! Color me impressed (and, um….sorry to hear about the widespread rash, even if it was five years ago. OWIE is RIGHT!).
