So I have been watching the Tour de France and well I have learned in cycling you fall and you get hurt. In today's stage several riders took tumbles on a descent and ending up with some nasty road rash including Lance Armstrong. One thing I noticed is these guys know how to crash. I am thinking I need to learn how to crash. Never really considered it before but when you are sitting around on the couch with a fractured wrist you think about these things. So I am taping the Tour and I intend to study it so I can be a little more eloquent the next time I tumble.
Update on me is this week stitches come out on Wednesday and I am hopeful that I can be back on the bike by the end of the month. I haven't discussed this with the surgeon yet but that is my plan.

If you put your arm out to try to break your fall, turn your wrist inward. It allows your elbow to bend and absorb some of the impact. If elbow doesn't bend, arm=broken.
Good to know Dr. Williams.
