Under threat of T Storms I decided to ride Z4 intervals on the MTB instead of the 2 mile hill repeats. Met up with an young team mate who races Expert. When Jake is riding tempo I'm chasing at Z4. During one of the fast bouts I was riding over my skill level and had a hard crash when I missed a open sided planked 2' wide foot bridge. I don't remember everything about the crash but do remember the bike missing the bridge and the crank arm hitting the side. I'm not hurt bad but have a really sore shoulder and some scrapes and bruises on the left arm and leg. The bike only suffered a bent brake lever. I have rode over the same foot bridge in rain, snow and darkness as well as nice days with out incident. Today's crash is a head scratcher.

Got home and cleaned up, took three Advils, and after three beers I believe I'm on the road to recovery.
