Ouch!

Went for my morning ride Wednesday, badly miscalculated a turn and hit the curb. My big toe on my right foot took the brunt of the damage. It looks like it was hit with a hammer. It’s been X-rayed, no break or fracture thankfully. But, I’m in one of those fashion shoes for a while. Lesson learned… I usually ride in regular walking shoes, nope, bad choice for me. I have a pair of MTB shoes I should have been wearing. I won’t ride without them again. I think if I had had them on I wouldn’t be in this pickle. I learned my Adidas 5 10’s are much better choice for foot protection. My Apple Watch wanted to dial 911 for me…I’m glad it has that feature, but sometimes it can be annoying. It won’t stop till you say you’re okay. And fortunately, my bike only sustained minor cosmetic damage. Scraped the derailleur a little bit, it stills shifts just fine. I will be out there again very soon. It’s hard to keep me down…
