Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Things I've realized so far this week

1) Hammer Kits are awesome for the price.

2) I will now always go to the ER any time I smack my head.

3) I shouldn't of told BigTea to HTFU, that was kinda ****ed.

No, no concussion. I didn't black out, didn't see stars, I haven't had any disorientation, my head aches if I shake it a bunch, but I have some whiplash up the back of my neck and neck tension gives me badddd head aches, but otherwise no symptoms. I just have been paranoid all weekend and would have felt better if I had had an exam. I still might go see my Dr this week...
