Today I went Mtn. biking with Leslies' husband and friends while my wife ran the same trail with Leslie and Maurine. I can't remember the last time I went mountain biking so I planed to take it easy (it didn't help).

We started at the top of big cottonwood canyon on the crest trial. The first mile was a killer, all up hill. The call it "puke hill" sounds like something I would love. There was no "Ralphing" this time and I even biked of the hill with almost no walking. I walk the last 50m only because it was really steep and I could get any traction to get moving. It was a great ride but I wish I was running it. This trail is part of he wasatch 100 but it is run the oppisite direction.

Just for all of you know I lived up to my nick name on this ride. I only krashed 3 times but I stopped counting the number of time my bike krashed after I hit 7. My bike went down many times without me. I felt my bike goin' down so I bailed. I wish I had my own film crew to catch all of them on tape because many of them were very funny. Now my last krash was the grandest of them all. After crossing from Cottonwood canyon to Millcreek canyon we jumped on the Pipeline trail and it was very rocky. It made my hands go numb. Near the end of the trial it headed down steep and was rocky. I was braking hard and my had slipped of the brake and it jurked my handle bars side ways and down I went hard on my right side. I hit my head, shoulder and 5th metacarpal. I layed in the middle of the trail for a little less than a min. If I had stayed any longer I might have been run over by some other rider that were right be hind me. Got some new dents in my helmet and a prescription of loritab :)

After picking up Laurie I felt I needed to go to the ER. My hand hurt so bad that I was almost sure it was broken. I went to LDS hospital and a My friend Jen Q took my x-rays. I am glad I just badly bruised my hand and not broken.
