It was warmer today (48) with light wind so went on a bicycle ride with some friends. We rode up to Fort Harrison park and went around the loop to get in some hill work. I was feeling good and worked the hills hard. On the way back out of the park. I was following one of the other guys when we were about to go back on the road and there was a pole in the middle of the path to keep cars off of the path. I didn't see the pole and hit it with my peddle. It threw me over the handlebars and landed pretty hard. I hit on my left side knee and elbow and also stuck out my right hand which dislocated my thumb. When I got up had to put my thumb back in place but other than that wasn't in too bad of shape. After walking around a little I was able to ride back to the house. My hand was really sore and swelled up pretty bad. All in all I feel luckily that it wasn't worse. My knee is still sore and tight so not sure if I will be able to run tomorrow. The hand should get back to normal after a few miles. I did get in 25 miles and some good hills during the experience. |
