Feel better.


Thanks man.

Forgot to mention, on my ride back to the car I rode by an actual hobo camp. My right arm is dangling and I’m dizzy from the pain, I’m covered in blood, my handlebars are crooked and I’m thinking on top of all that I’m about to get mugged by some hobos.

Hobos wouldn’t mug ya. Just make you listen to harmonica music and eat beans.

That’s a nice bike.

I’m in the market for a new one, the one I have was a gift but it’s pretty old and not really what I need. Looking for something basic under $1,000.

Other than the violent crash it was a lot of fun.

Got the all clear from the doctor today to resume activities, so I immediately loaded up my bike and went back to the trail where I broke my arm. Still in a lot of pain so I took it easy and walked a lot of it because it was hard to steer. Every rock I hit was excruciating but I needed to finish the trail for closure. I’m back on the bike baby!
