After a freelance assignment I had the chance to ride a new trail. 20 minutes in, I approached an off-camber drop, clipped a crank arm at full speed, and Superman-ed off the front, down the 3 foot drop and landed on my bike, scrapes on knees, elbows and bruised thigh and hip, but a deep punctured let me know I was done for the day. I cleaned it at my truck, Deb irrigated, Lidocained, and steri-striped it, but hours later, it is still bleeding.
