We got up crazy early this morning to go watch the sunrise. Rode the bikes in the dark over to the rim, picked a vantage point and settled in. Glorious!
After sunrise, we headed off to hike down the Bright Angel Trail into the canyon.
And then BAM! I took a turn and the bike skidded out on a patch of gravel, and I went down hard. Head skidding across the pavement, bike crushing my ankle and knee. Believe it or not, I didn’t enjoy that.
As I lay there stunned, Susy rushed to my rescue. Finally getting the bike off me, we assessed my condition.
The helmet saved my head, the gloves saved my hand, the Levi’s saved my knee (mostly). Just some new aches and pains. Nothing that time and some ibuprofen can’t fix.
I gave Susanne my usual answer, “I’ll be a’ight”. She only growled a little this time.
