They cleaned it out pretty well, we stitched it up Rambo style if you know what I mean. Just felt like I got 8 big shots pretty much. I rode about 12 miles after....and I'll be back out tomorrow. I was going to do 60 miles today but ran out of daylight trying to get it stitched up (had to go to two places and called another). It still doesn't hurt much, it just feels tight, like the skin is pulled tight.

It did bleed pretty bad. I took my sock off and laid it over the cut and wrapped my spare tube around to keep it from bleeding too much as I peddled to the Dr's office. That was the worst part of the whole thing, the tube was so tight it kept my thy muscles from being able to move freely.
