Both the new ASR-c and I received a couple of boo boos today while out on the trail. It looked like a good day to ride Centennial Cone, but when I got to the trail, the wind was picking up, and the snowy weather was closing in. Stubborn as I am, I decided to tough it out, (even though I was lacking a few needed layers of clothing). About 10 miles into my ride, a huge gust of wind came up and literally blew me off the trail! The wind swept me off the bike like a ragdoll- I fell over on my left hip, wedged the bike into two rocks, and landed myself on a sharp rock 5 feet below. Dang it hurt! I rode the next 12 miles tenderly and cautiously, and ended the ride 2.5 hours later frozen to the bone. The bike now has some nice carbon scrapes, I've got a pretty bruised hip, so I think we've officially bonded.
