My wife crashed in Aliso Woods yesterday...(4-23-08)

She was coming down Mathis after having a really good ride and was carrying a lot of speed for her level and her front tire caught in a rut and OTB she went... it was 20 minutes til dark so after we assessed her condition we got her up to ride the rest of the way out. Got her to our friends place; got her in the shower and all cleaned up and off to the ER we went just to make sure nothing was broken... good news is nothing is broken but she is sore as hell; her wrist is wrapped in an ace bandage and her opposite arm is in a sling due to her shoulder. Doctor says percocet and no work until Monday should do the trick for her! So this week she gets new hydraulic brakes and a larger front rotor... so she can ride another day!

 

Wow
Sorry to hear that. Hope she get better soon. She gonna have some nice scars.

 

A LOT of speed! Wishing her well.

 

ouch! feel better soon drink lots o beer!

 

wow, hope your wife gets well and hops back on the bike.

this reminds me of when my girlfriend went otb on lynx. gosh, i never hear the end of that...and dripping cave too

 

If she can suffer the humiliation of having bandages on her face, Tegaderm will stop any of that from scarring.

 

Dude. Quit posting half-nekkid pictures of your wife on here!!

Tell her to rest up and heal. Glad her OTB experience wasn't any worse.

 

Ouch! Sorry I know how it feels to see your partner bite it.
Will has seen me drop out of the sky and bounce and I have seen here bite it a couple of time it sucks. My heart stops.

I hope she gets well soon and never stops riding.
The mandatory crashing will end and it will be smooth sailing from there on out.

Willie is now as much of a mountain bike freak as me. She loves riding.

 

Thanks... shes a Vet Tech so she has access to a lot of medical supplies she says she'll look into Tegaderm... right now she has the double antibiotic ointment the ER gave us on it. The doc said the abrasions on her face are superficial and wont scar.

 

Ruts suck! Sending out some healing vibes.

 

Can I suggest lots of neosporin and crack open a few vitamin E capsules and apply to the wounds. Especially the face, it will cut down on any scarring.

Get well soon and I second the "lot's of beer" recommendation.

 

speedy recovery to your wife.

 

Interesting , my wife's a vet, her clinic is in Brea. Where does your wife work? Whatever happens, do not let her face wounds dry out and scab. Trust a guy who's gone down on his face on a road ride.

 

She works in Belmont Shore aka Long Beach. Yeah we are going to take care of her face the most... thanks for the info.

 

Sounds like she'll heal up nicely with a little time and rest . Way to step up with the new hydr. brakes. Good Man...

 

Best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery and a return back to the trail!

 

Ouch.....

Glad she did not break anything.

Make sure she keeps the wounds clean and goes to a Dr. at the first sign of infection. There's a lot a bacteria out in the wilderness.

Heal fast

 

OUCH! Healing vibes out to her

 

Aliso Crash

Hopefully her crash is like having kids....you forget the pain and do it all over again.

I saw a guy get air lifted out years ago from Coyote. He was in a high gear at the top of a small climb and lost his speed. He fell over going about 2 MPH, bruised his hip and was unable to ride out. Scary stuff. Here's my Aliso claim-to-fame on "Smoothie".
