Rough Rider

Telegraph->Sidewinder->Big Canyon is one of my favorite rides.  But today it got the best of me.  First, I didn't clear the top of Telegraph; I think that takes my record down to 3 and 3 against Telegraph.  Then on the way down Big Canyon, I hooked a tree root with my right pedal and so my bike flipped sideways while I was moving along pretty fast.  I can't recall ever having my bike ripped out sideways before.  It was a strange way to fly.  Anyway, I didn't get hurt other than a couple of scrapes, so it wan't too big of a deal.  Still a good way to get out of the office for a bit.  The bright side is that I've lost 9 pounds since moving back to Colorado, so the riding is doing me some good!
