It may look like I was in over my head (which I was), but most of these are from my pedals. Next time, I’ll be sure to bring shoes.

Too many bruises

Napa is such a great place to ride, but I got a little ahead of myself in a draft line and ended up in the middle of the road. I guess I really am a klutz at heart, but at least this wasn’t as embarassing as falling down the stairs at my job interview.

Best quote from the passers-by at the grocery story yesterday, “I know you get this a lot, and I’m going to be just like all those other people; how big was the skate board you fell off of?” Runner up, “You look like a REAL athlete.”

I’m so thankful for a few things, there wasn’t a car coming, my buddy Mark didn’t crash after I crashed into him, and that my bones seem to be doing alright after taking a pretty hard beating.

For now I’m in recovery, and if you have a strong stomach, here are the photos from day 1 and day 2:
