My daughter tried mtn. biking Saturday. Some trail in the mountains above Redlands, CA. She crashed and ended up gashed from the front chainring, which required 9 stitches. I told her it's a chainring tattoo and badge of honor! It was her last day date outing with her boyfriend before leaving for a 6 week med school rotation in Houston. She still made her flight yesterday although she said she's still quite sore!

Pssf... Noob....

It took 30 something stitches to close up my chain ring tattoo. It's really a wicked looking scar. Funny thing is I get strangers asking about it all the time and my standard reply is "shark attack". Folks just get this weird look on their face and walk away.
