Tales Of The Biker Babe
 

My DH and I decided that we would go for a nice bike ride. A together thing, no kids just the two of us biking down the trail through the woods. There is water and trees and fresh air. Then it happens.... I hit a patch of soft gravel and down I go..... I hurt my knee I held strong and did not cry. Although I wanted to. ( not sure if I hurt my knee or my pride more. Even though it was bleeding a wee bit.) :cry: So I jump back on my bike and off we go again. Mind you this is the first time I have been on my bike in over a year and a half. So as I said we are off again. So my sweet darling asks me after 5 km if I would like to take a break I say no lets go to the end of the trail which is 9 km long. We get just to the end and it happens again..... down I go.... this time I really hurt myself..... I screwed up my knee it is bleeding more and it really hurts....this time I did cry.... :cry: :cry: DH comes over and helps me up and gives me kiss to make me feel better. We rest for awhile and dam we have to ride 9 km back through the woods AGAIN. So off we go and it HURTS. So we are off and then out of now where a darn partridge jumps out in front of me and I almost went down again. :yikes: Finally DH finds a path that took us out to the highway and we drove the next 6 kms on the road much safer. But now I am so sore. I am hobbling along and when I stand up after sitting it is so stiff. So I should be feeling real great tomorrow. Well that is the tale of the biker babe.

Take 2 ibuprofen, ice the knew and nurse the pride :)

Oh, Little Chick... :grouphug: You poor darling. :( May I suggest you stay off your bike for a wee while? Perhaps you'd be better off on a stationary. ;)
You'll laugh about this next week. Did you get the partridge? You could have been cooking him right now... stupid birds!
Your DH is a sweetie. Take care of those knees, hon.

upon futher investigation along with my bruised ego is a bruised @$$. :lol:

While feeling bad for your mishaps I also can't help but laugh because that story could easily be something that would happen to me, and girls I have some padding on me I'm sure I'd bounce down to the end of the trail ;) and boy oh boy to me that is a hilarious image :rofl: I hope your knee starts feeling better soon!!

Aw, poor Little Chick! I hope you heal fast - both body and pride! :grouphug:

Morning chickes still favoring my knee but with a pot of tea and a few advil it is feeling slightly better. Of course I have had to explain my hobbling I am sure my pride will heal faster than my knee.

Little Chick! I am so sorry! How awful! Everyone was out on their bikes yesterday and I was just thinking that I would love to reward myself with a bike when I get to a goal of some kind on the diet. Hope that your knee feels better and that your behind loses the bruise! Nothing like not being able to stand or sit! ;)
