Iceaxe gets an owie!!!
Warning: this pictures below are pretty graphic and not for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach.
So yesterday I crashed on my mountain bike. It wasn't really a crash, more like I tipped over going about 2 mph. I was riding down a singletrack in Corner Canyon and anther rider and his dog were coming up the trail so I unclipped my right foot and went to step down and the dumb dog ran under my foot, so I fell to the left where my foot was still clipped into the pedal and I couldn't catch myself. It was no big deal really... except for the front sprocket sliced my calf open like a kitchen turkey. It took over 30 stitches to close and is going to leave a wicked scar.
I had to ride two miles home and drive myself to the hospital.
The doc's were laughing because I placed a towel over the wound and ducted taped it in place so I would bleed all over my truck. They thought it was funny I used duct tape to patch myself up.
The worst part is I'm out of commission for doing fun stuff for the next 3 weeks.
Remember... you were warned!

Sorry to hear it, Ice. Thats a wicked wound. Hope it heals properly and quick.
Reminds me of the reasons why I don't mountain bike. I like my other sports too much.

I'm concerned about the type of kitchen turkey you are eating...
Pretty wild, hope it heals quickly.

My word! Whom but you would have the presence of mind to take "before" and "after" shots!
Get well soon; just be fortunate that it wasn't higher up the leg .
p.s I'd sue the seamstress responsible for the blanket stitch.

This is why I quit riding clipless shoes. Too many slow motion tip overs. Hope that you heal soon.
I would like to ride some draper trails with you as a guide.

Pretty darn impressive there. Ouch. I love the fact that the before picture includes the duct tape bandage you made. Hope it heals up fast.

Man that is crazy! Glad you made it to the dock, looks like they did just fine considering what they had to work with.

Wow! Wicked gash, but even more wicked stitches. The Doc that stitched you up clearly wasn't worried about scars or your appearance.

Crazy! Never seen anything like it. Just out of curiosity, was the dog leashed? Isn't there a leash law in CC? Did the dog owner apologize or offer help?
Are we there yet?

One of my favorite saying....scars are tattoos with cool stories! You do not have a couple of new scars by the end of the biking season, it was a bad year!
go get lost, it is good for the soul
