we are rejoicing in the fall weather that has been gracious enough to linger here in oklahoma. you never know what october (november too) will bring around here. it has been HOT HOT HOT on halloween before, but it has also snowed on halloween. this morning we awoke to temps in the 30s! wow! it has been warming to around 70ish in the afternoons...perfect!
sunday, the three of us threw our bikes on the rack and drove out to a favorite bike trail and shredded the gnar...taking in the the beauty of the season and enjoying the thrill of blazing down the trail. it was wonderful...until i crashed, that is. i tend to save up crashes so that when i do crash the crash = BIG. i am okay...a few separated ribs, major oblique trauma, serious trail rash, and some very lovely bruises. i, however, did not K.O. and this, my friends, was the ONLY thing going through my mind when i knew i was going down, "do NOT get knocked out, do NOT get knocked out!". i hurt...bad...but i am so happy i could get up and there were no bones sticking out of my flesh, and oh so, so happy that my brain did not pound the ground. i love riding my bike and i love riding it aggressively. crashes DO happen, though...it's part of the game.
an epic sunday afternoon!
