Got a short ride in today.... To the post office, bank & grocery store. With the one friend... Took the mountain bikes... quite a workout on the muddy roads before we got to the pavement. We had just got off sidewalk that we ride on for about 500 feet before we usually go into the bike lane and all of a sudden my friend crashes. We were only going about 12mph because we were just getting into the bike lane. He was laying in the bike lane all tangled up with the bike. I had to un-tangle him. Seems his foot slipped off the pedal on the down stroke. Both wrists are hurting him pretty bad (nothing broken). And the pedal got him pretty good in the calf. I have those flip pedals on the bike he was riding... clipless one side and platform on the other. Says he is going to buy bike shoes today.... Then I had to tell him he had to look forward to a few low speed falls when he does that..... He really didn't think that was funny .... DOH!!

Anyway about an 8 mile ride..... avoided the rain....
