I didn’t have a specific route in mind so I
just went on some roads to see where they went. Well I sort of had in mind to
ride towards Health Springs the long way. After a while I came to the
conclusion I was lost. So I switch my iphone to mapping to see where I was. To
my dismay I was actually going in opposite direction that I thought I was
going. So much for my sense of direction.
I
finally recognized a dirt road that road last year and wrote a story about it
in my blog. It was a shortcut back to home but it was not a road to be riding a
road bike on. So I decided to turn around and go back the way I came. Unfortunely turning around proved to be a little
disastrous for me. I got into some loose
rocks and down I went. I remember thinking this was going to hurt. I laid down
for a few minutes while I examined my body to see what damage I had done to it.
Thank goodness that all I had is some skin rash on my elbow and knee, nothing
bad. My big worry was did I damage my bike and the good news is that I didn’t.
Well
I finish riding28.24miles and ascended 799 feet which is about half what I will
have to do in the The link provided below will open up Google Earth and show you my bike ride I did today.
