    Wow! Interesting pic. Looks a painful thud was the case.

    It's never good when your entire bike is higher than you are.

    At least you have it on record. Take the time to rest up and heal Tink!

    Nice pics. It looks more like your bike hucked you. I'm glad you're (kind of) okay.

    Funny how you're fine after that, huh? After mine, I was checking on others (don't remember); I was with another woman who went down, didn't seem hard (at the entrance of Whiting), she was fine afterwards, alert, oriented, then found herself in the car not remembering how she got there. Heads are funny little things.

    That wouldn't take long. I walk that section. lol

    I think my bike went flying in a similar fashion without going airborne first. I landed kind of like that and broke my elbow. #-o

    That is a great pic.

    Most def a THUD! But she sure had her BELL rung...

    I think she might have landed the front wheel on the side of this rut which threw her OTB.

    Wait, which was had she been heading? I'm not familiar with this trail?!?!?! Is she heading in the same direction as precrash, or is her bike?

    Way to take a soil sample!!! Heal up quick girl.

    I know how you feel. The last time I rode with Sauce in my group I saw my knee cap:?: .. I was "trying" to stay in front of her on the downhill and then...... Thats it, I was out. Good times!! Next time I ride with her I'll just tuck my ballzzz in my purse and let her go first](*,)](*,)
