THERE ARE ONLY 2 KINDS OF BIKERS

 

Heidi, this one's for you - been there, done that!

 

 

THOSE WHO HAVE CRASHED AND THOSE WHO WILL.  That should give you an indication of how our day went…We road 71 miles today, on those heavy bikes…it took us 6 hours and some change and we made it to French Camp, Mississippi and are awaiting Natalie’s pickup tomorrow.

Okay, in a nutshell Donna had two crashes…one while going about 1 mile an hour and one while going about 12 miles per hour…The first one involved her cell phone, and it was minor except for some road rash…the second one involved me riding up beside her and “freaking” her out…we were tired…it was mile 55, I forgot to say “on your left” and she freaked when I came up beside her.  She went down in the middle of the road – there were some cars 50 yards or so down the road, but I managed to get off my bike and flag them around us in plenty of time.

She has some pretty mean road rash…we have pictures and will post them tomorrow.  There is always a bright side, however.  We both believe that this happened because I was hitting the wall…I was literally on my last leg, so to speak, but after the crash, I forgot my little problems and road dutifully behind Donna and her bleeding elbows and knees all the way to our destination – 71 miles total – did I say that already??

So, Christi, your helmet quote was quite appropriate…thank God she had hers on (she cracked it by the way), and yes, we are both fine.  We have no reception here in the boondocks with our computer, but the B & B proprietor let us use theirs just to report in.

I’ll download some cool crash pictures tomorrow.
