If it's any consultation, a couple of years ago Lance Armstrong had a brake dragging on a mountain time trial, and that was set up by a professional mechanic. I believe his exact words were, "this is the hardest I've ever had to peddle!"Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-60423948144115537832010-08-26T06:59:56.273-07:002010-08-26T06:59:56.273-07:00What a survivor!

The one that could have been the worst, but was'nt, thank GOD, because I was going uphill not down, was when my handle bars CAME OFF. All the way up the hill I said to Laurie, "this is the hardest I've ever had to peddle". We were going against the wind, so I summed it up to that. When we hit level ground, off came the handle bars, I jumped off only to have the chain sprocket gouge into my right calf. Ouch! The best part of this story though is when I'm sitting on the trail waiting for my husband to come back with the truck, blood running down my leg, a group of biking guys asked me if my husband had a good life insurance policy on me! I then remembered that he HAD worked on my brakes the previous week... ummm.<br />DebbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-84772239757334537432010-08-25T03:20:52.711-07:002010-08-25T03:20:52.711-07:00I always go into the tuck and roll a couple second...I always go into the tuck and roll a couple seconds after the face plant. <br /><br />mwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-73149944736790386202010-08-24T11:54:52.871-07:002010-08-24T11:54:52.871-07:00Margadant isn't even a bicyclist and he's ...Margadant isn't even a bicyclist and he's crashed one within the past couple of years - had a chance to practice his old football tuck and roll.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-84537208609071218132010-08-24T10:50:14.365-07:002010-08-24T10:50:14.365-07:00I'm ok.

Also I have one benenfit from the accident. about three month ago I was cruising with my daughter and stop by the trail. some how I tweek my back and I had all kinds of pain in my pelvic region...hips were killing me etc. Even went to the chiropractor still no good. Well after my auger into the pavement I absolutely have no pain anywhere except for rib and hand.

It must be a symptom of shock; it sure disappears fast when you get up and try to get yourself off the scene. Then the true pain and debilitation set in and open up shop.<br /><br />Congratulations on surviving the modern equivalent of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.Margadantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-75553150176106035392010-08-23T21:11:57.400-07:002010-08-23T21:11:57.400-07:00BTW, good vibes to Jack.
