Noob

Welp, I pulled a noob move at the Reservoir yesterday and crashed. Went too fast on a short, steep hill right before an intersection with a fire road, hit the brakes and slipped on a patch of gravel and tall grass.

I landed on my right hand, shoulder, and knee, with the index and middle fingers curled up on the brake lever taking the brunt of the impact.

Thankfully nothing's broken (or doesn't seem to be anyways), but my swollen up index finger is killin' me.

I'm going to give it a few days of RICE (Rest Ice Compress Elevate), or as much as I can handle.

The handlebars got twisted all around during the crash and some of the brake cable housing jackets got shredded, so I'll need to replace those soon.

Fun is.
