Off the bike for a few days

...due to a freak bike accident.

I went on a group ride last night. When we finished up we parked our bikes to hang out for a while. When I was getting ready to leave to ride home, my bike started to fall over. I reached out and caught by the seat, and as I did something went POP in my elbow. The inside of the joint is very sore and in some positions applying any force to it results in a lot of pain. Instead of riding home on the bike, I got a ride from friend.

At rest, it's a little sore, but there are a lot of things can make it very painful.

I'm hoping I just pulled or maybe partially tore a muscle a tendon or something and it will heal up after a few days. If not, I guess I'll have to go to the doctor.
