This isn't me in the picture, but it's how I felt yesterday. Jon and I had ridden our bikes to the church yesterday and it was a beautiful morning. On our way home in the afternoon, we cut through the parking lot of the Auto Plaza and had to hop a curb to get back on the road. I had slowed down almost to a stop so that I could do this controlled up and over, and to my credit I did get the "up" part. It was the "over" part that did me in. Part of my brain was realizing (in slow motion) that the bike was going down and I was going over. I managed to get my left leg out, but then I came down hard and my right quad hit the top bar of the bike.
Needless to say, I have a HUGE charlie horse and a bump about the size of a half softball on my thigh, and WOW it hurts like crazy. No bruising yet. I think my body is trying to figure out what to do with it, but I'm sure the bruising is on its way. Fun times… I feel like an idiot. Good thing it happened too fast for Jon to pull out his camera and capture the video. Otherwise, I'd have a youtube link to post.
