My wife and I bought mountain bikes at REI. We were helped by this awesome girl Amber. We both got hooked up with bikes, helmets, water bottles, camel bag, bike rack on the car, we’re all set to get into biking shape. One small problem, I tend to like going over the handlebars. On August 16th at 7:30pm, my cousin Dirk and I had made it to the top of Shane’s loop in Boise, ID. We were on our way down and were about 300 yards from being on flat ground. Dirk hit a jump in the middle of the trail and I followed. I did an amazing one half front flip and landed on my left shoulder breaking my collar bone.
I’m going back to running. This little investment for excercise has turned out costing more than expected. All kidding aside, as soon as I’m able Ali and I will be riding again. I may be a bit more cautious on the downhills.
