- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: here's where things were not so perfect
Notes: We were on a real nice counterclockwise loop around Carr Pond, when on the very first mile, OMMB found his own version of J. Geils Band's, Whammer Jammer. It's where the front tire "whams" into a stick, and the stick "jams" into your front spokes...now my version of the song adds a "slam" down to the ground via endo, driving my left arm into my side. Whammer, Jammer, Slammer people... also known as ...awe that f*in hurts! And now two days later I'm still sayin, this mother f*in hurts!! What is it with rib slams? Is that much pain really required to let me know that endos are not what a 50-something year old gran-dude is supposed to be doing? I get it. But gees I wasn't even doing anything close to what these guys usually do, I was just riding, no tricks involved! Just when you least expect it... Whammer, Jammer, Slammer!
Tidbits: Of course all this pain could have been avoided if I had only taken Bob's offer to ride Swansea on Monday versus Tuesday. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
Happy Trails,
OMMB
